Blocks not showing up in Wordpress editor

[jaredcbaum]

Description

I took your blocks example and hooked it up to my site, but I'm unable to see blocks show up in the Gutenberg editor after running faust blockset. I am hosting on Kinsta and running PHP Version 8.2 and Wordpress Version 6.5.2

Steps to reproduce

npx create-next-app \
-e https://github.com/wpengine/faustjs/tree/canary \
--example-path examples/next/block-support \
--use-npm

2. cd into repo
3. npm i and add environment variables hooking up site to Faustjs

Hi, I have the same issue on the same versions. npm run blockset works properly and creates block inside uploads/faustwp/blocks, but this error appears in block editor console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'blocks')
    at @wordpress/blocks (external window ["wp","blocks"]:1:1)
    at __webpack_require__ (bootstrap:19:1)

Seems like registerFaustBlock fires before wp.blocks have been created?

Hey @jaredcbaum I was able to reproduce but it does not make sense.

I tried to load a block using the https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/packages/packages-create-block/ and while I was having it loaded together with the blocks that I register using blockset command the blocks were loaded correctly:

As long as I have a dummy block there loaded the blocks load correctly. @josephfusco any ideas why?

Hi @theodesp my experience is that since WordPress core 6.5, I had to apply this dirty tweak #1706 (comment) to be able to see custom blocks generated via faust blockset script in WordPress admin, despite the fact that the script is emitting blocks were generated successfully. Obviously this is not the way to solve this issue and as #1706 issue is already closed and there is no feedback to my comment nor to #1706 (comment) , I am wondering if this issue could have a bit more attention, or at least if you/anyone could bring some light into why since WP core 6.5 we need to add as well index.asets.php file, why it is removed by faust blockset, what is the best way to go about it and if this issue will be addresses in next package release? Really appreciate any input, many thanks!

@jaredcbaum worth trying if this helps you to see blocks again in WP admin as temporary workaround.

[theodesp]

Hey @jan-clockworkwp. Indeed, we remove any php files before uploading to WordPress because of security concerns because we upload files into the wp-uploads folder since some providers like WP Engine have filters that block this operation while unzipping php files.

[jan-clockworkwp]

Hey @theodesp, thanks for the heads up on the reason why. It makes sense. My question is, what can we do about it? The problem of not seeing the custom block within the Gutenberg editor still persists if index.asset.php is not present in the FaustWP custom WordPress block upload folder etc. uploads/faustwp/blocks/your-custom-block/.

[theodesp]

Hey @jan-clockworkwp sorry for the late response. We are currently looking at some new relevant updates committed in WordPress develop regarding the optional index.asset.php here: WordPress/wordpress-develop#5799
