Hello everyone! I’m exited to showcase my first contribution testing patches for WordPress!

I’ve contributed testing the ticket #65632 fairly simple as it was a dependency update of the html linter that WordPress uses for analyzing custom html code in theme editor aswell as codemirror for the file editor.

Navigating through the handbook for testing was pretty straight forward has i’m familiar with docker and npm, setting everything up was simple and the provided documentation was all i needed to get started with testing, as for the contribution itself:

1. Added the pr changes using grunt

2. run build command and get environment started

3. Manual test comparing both versions of WordPress custom html widgets and code editor to look for unexpected behavior

4. ❌ it failed in a single unit test

THE FIX

Changed the version expected in plugin-loader.php to the correct version and now the unit test passed as expected also ran e2e and didn’t experience errors related to this patch.
