Warning on Widgets screen

Hi @zahardoc ,

I am using WordPress 6.3.1, and SSP 2.22.0, and Twenty Twenty-One 1.8.

I have this defined in my wp-config.php:

define( 'WP_DEBUG', true );
define( 'SCRIPT_DEBUG', true );

When I go to the Appearance > Widgets page, I get the following notice at the top(partially obscured by the Widgets heading):

Digging through the dependencies for ssp-block-script (which are defined here: https://plugins.trac.wordpress.org/browser/seriously-simple-podcasting/trunk/build/index.asset.php ), I found that commenting out the wp-edit-post dependency removes the notice, but causes a JavaScript error. wp-edit-post is actually what has a dependency on wp-editor and so ssp-block-script causes it to be enqueued on the widgets page.

Below is my installation’s Site Health info. Note that this is a blank test WordPress site. I ran into this issue while working on an actual website, but then I wanted to make sure that the issue happens when there are no other plugins or themes involved. My problem with this error is that I have my local environment setup in a way where every notice causes a fatal error during development and therefore I couldn’t visit the Widgets page at all until I did the workaround of removing the custom blocks and script on the Widgets page.

Let me know if you are still unable to reproduce this issue, but I believe that with the information provided you should be able to reproduce it.

I found a way to remove the dependency for wp-edit-post when on the Widgets screen, but you would still have to update the code for your block to handle this appropriately. This is the updated code for the first part of Castos_Blocks::register_castos_blocks():

	public function register_castos_blocks($handle) {
		global $pagenow;

		$dependencies = $this->asset_file['dependencies'];
		if ( $pagenow && 'widgets.php' === $pagenow && false !== in_array( 'wp-edit-post', $dependencies ) ) {
			array_splice(
				$dependencies,
				array_search( 'wp-edit-post', $dependencies ),
				1
			);
		}

		wp_register_script(
			'ssp-block-script',
			esc_url( SSP_PLUGIN_URL . 'build/index.js' ),
			$dependencies,
			$this->asset_file['version'],
			true
		);

Awesome, thank you @zahardoc ! 🙂
