Deprecated message registering Jace's block patterns

[bobbingwide]

While testing the new improved patterns display in blocks.wp.a2z I came across a Doing it wrong message.

Notice: Function _register_theme_block_patterns was called incorrectly. Could not register file "C:\apache\htdocs\wp-a2z/wp-content/themes/jace/patterns/register-block-patterns.php" as a block pattern ("Slug" field missing) Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.0.0.) in C:\apache\htdocs\wp-a2z\wp-includes\functions.php on line 5831

The code in gutenberg_register_theme_block_patterns() is trying to process the register-block-patterns.php file as a pattern.

The $pattern_data for this file is

C:\apache\htdocs\wordpress\wp-content\plugins\gutenberg\lib\compat\wordpress-6.1\block-patterns.php(72:0) gutenberg_register_theme_block_patterns(37) 105 4 2022-10-08T16:13:56+00:00 1.285582 0.000946 cf=init 8333 12 0 6291456/6291456 512M F=688 pattern data for C:\apache\htdocs\wp-a2z/wp-content/themes/jace/patterns/register-block-patterns.php Array

    [title] => (string) ""
    [slug] => (string) ""

    [keywords] => (string) ""
    [blockTypes] => (string) ""
    [postTypes] => (string) ""
    [inserter] => (string) ""

hence the message I saw.

It looks like this should be passed to Carolina Nymark @carolinan

Thank you Herb, I believe this was fixed in 1.0.5 but I will check.

Thank you Herb, I believe this was fixed in 1.0.5 but I will check.

• Interesting, I got the problem with 1.0.6.
• But it would seem that my version of the file register-block-patterns.php is from an earlier version of the theme.
• Now I've looked at the code in trac I can see the fix was actually in 1.0.4.
• This indicates that my update routine has failed to remove the file from the patterns folder.
• Which is a bit of a shame since I use WordPress's Theme_Upgrader class.
• But I hadn't set $args['overwrite_package'] to true.

The bug's in oik-update
