Keep the iOS keyboard capitalized after Return ends a list, with a Safari test by ellatrix · Pull Request #82565 · WordPress/gutenberg

ellatrix · 2026-09-07T19:38:19Z

What?

An automated check that the iOS keyboard starts the next field capitalized after Return, run in Safari on an iOS simulator, and a fix for the case it found broken: the paragraph after a list. Based on #82475 and #82911, which fix the behavior for the title and paragraphs.

Why?

These fixes depend on what the iOS keyboard reads when focus moves, which no desktop browser shows. The Playwright tests pin the event order and the caret position; this test reads the actual shift key of the software keyboard.

Since list items joined the editing host in #82816, Return on an empty list item leaves the keyboard lowercase in the paragraph that ends the list. The list item replaces the list and selects the new paragraph as a block, so its field takes focus from the editing host and gives it back, which resets the keyboard. Return on an empty paragraph inside a quote does the same.

How?

test/ios/SafariTests/AutoCapitalizationTests.swift opens a new post in Safari, which focuses the title. It types a word with the software keyboard, taps its return key, and asserts that the paragraph it lands in has focus with the shift key selected. It then types a word there and presses return again for the paragraph split, and once more inside the editing host. The next paragraph is turned into a list with the - prefix, and return is checked once more in a list item with text and once on an empty item, which ends the list with a paragraph. Typed text is checked through the fields' accessible values.
A private selectStartOfBlock action selects the start of a block's text when the block opts into the editable root, as inserting and splitting already do since Keep the iOS keyboard capitalized after Return inside the editing host #82911, and selects the block as before otherwise. The list item's and the paragraph's Return handlers use it, so focus stays on the editing host. Two Playwright tests check that focus does not move for the list and the quote.
test/ios/run.sh no longer stops when Safari takes longer than simctl openurl waits to open the warm-up page; it waits for the request in the server log as before.

Testing Instructions

On macOS with Xcode and xcodegen installed:

npm run build
./test/ios/run.sh

On the runner, the list step failed in 6 of 10 runs without the fix and in none of 10 with it.

Testing Instructions for Keyboard

Not applicable.

Screenshots or screencast

None.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

Tests
- Added automated iOS Safari coverage for keyboard behavior, including sentence auto-capitalization when moving between editor fields.
- Added an iOS test host app and simulator-based testing setup.
- Improved simulator selection, startup readiness checks, error handling, and test isolation for more reliable test runs.
- Added automated build and test workflows for pull requests and selected branch updates.
Documentation
- Added instructions for prerequisites, running iOS tests, and locating failure results.

This change adds an iOS Safari XCUITest suite for editor keyboard capitalization. It adds simulator and WordPress Playground orchestration, an XcodeGen project, a SwiftUI host app, test configuration, documentation, and GitHub Actions automation.

Changes: iOS Safari test pipeline

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Simulator and Playground runtime `test/ios/run.sh`, `test/ios/blueprint.json`	The runner selects and boots an iOS simulator, starts WordPress Playground, validates readiness and the editor build, resets Safari state, and runs the test command.
Xcode host and test targets `test/ios/Host/App.swift`, `test/ios/project.yml`, `test/ios/.gitignore`	The XcodeGen configuration defines the host app, Safari UI-testing bundle, target dependency, iOS settings, test scheme, and generated project exclusions.
Safari capitalization test flow `test/ios/SafariTests/AutoCapitalizationTests.swift`	The XCTest case opens the editor in Safari, controls keyboard input, moves through title, paragraph, and list fields, and verifies capitalization and retained text.
GitHub Actions execution `.github/workflows/ios-tests.yml`, `test/ios/README.md`	The workflow builds the project, transfers the artifact to macOS, selects Xcode 26, runs the iOS tests, and uploads failed results. The README documents prerequisites and execution details.

Cool to see some automated native tests! Nicely done. 🎉

I captured some findings from review Claude Code as inline suggestions. I believe all of them to be legitimate and worth addressing.

I'll note that I was only able to achieve a successful local run when using a newly created Simulator, this appears related to the inline comment discussing the ineffective ConnectHardwareKeyboard use.

dcalhoun · 2026-09-09T18:39:35Z

+		web.textViews.matching( NSPredicate( format: "hasKeyboardFocus == true" ) ).firstMatch
+	}
+
+	override func setUpWithError() throws {


Finding from Claude:

Safari is never terminated and the dirty post stays open, while run.sh clears cookies only once before xcodebuild. Latent with one test method; the moment a second exists it inherits the previous session's auto-draft, keyboard plane and focus, which looks like a flaky editor rather than leaked state.

override func tearDownWithError() throws { // Each test opens its own post and leaves it dirty. Ending the session // stops the next one inheriting this one's draft, keyboard plane and // focus; terminating skips the unsaved-changes prompt that would // otherwise block the next `system.open`. safari.terminate() }

terminate() is a hard kill, so beforeunload never fires — that is what makes it safer than navigating away. The login cookie lives in Safari's container and survives, so tests don't each pay a re-login.

Residual risk worth knowing: Safari restores tabs on relaunch. openNewPost() already guards it by waiting for an empty, focused "Add title", so a restored page fails with "The title is not focused" rather than quietly testing the wrong document.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a pull request-specific concurrency group.

Two forks can create pull requests with the same branch name. Those runs share this group and cancel each other. Use github.event.pull_request.number for pull-request runs.

Proposed fix

- group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.head_ref || github.sha }} + group: ${{ github.workflow }}-${{ github.event_name == 'pull_request' && github.event.pull_request.number || github.sha }}

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In the meantime not having this test in trunk already caused #82475 to regress due to #81542.

Pick the iPhone on the newest installed iOS instead of the last one simctl lists, and stop with a message when there is none. Drop the hardware keyboard preference, which the boot command never reads, and document erasing a simulator that once had one. Wait for a key to be tappable rather than for the keyboard element to exist, since the element exists while a hardware keyboard keeps it off screen. Tell a failed editor request apart from a missing build, guard the cookie deletion against an empty container path, fail with a message when the runner has no Xcode 26, end Safari after each test, and assert the list item typed after the prefix is capitalized.

Once the canvas is the editing host, keyboard focus sits on the canvas and its text is the text of every block, so the test waits for its last line to be empty instead of for a focused empty paragraph. It also presses Return from an empty paragraph inside the host, where the keyboard currently stays lowercase. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The runner dropped the first tap after the keyboard appeared, so the title read "Itle" and the test stopped before the editing host steps. Each letter now waits to show up on the caret's line and is tapped once more when it does not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The runner's log shows the first tap synthesized while the keyboard was still sliding in: XCUITest waits for Safari to go idle before a tap, not for the keyboard, which runs in its own process, and iOS drops a touch during that animation. The next tap then found the keyboard still shifted and typed "I". The test now waits for the keyboard's frame to stop moving once, instead of tapping every letter again when it does not land. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The runner's screen recording shows the first tap pressing the T key (its popup shows) at the same point as the later taps, yet nothing lands in the title and the keyboard stays shifted, in two of five runs. Waiting for the keyboard's animation did not change that. To see where the character goes, the test site now loads a script that logs the events, selection and DOM of the title around each key, and the title assertion prints that log when the typed text is wrong. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The last run showed the lost first key, but the log kept only its last forty entries and the first key had scrolled out. The log now starts just before the first keydown, lists the title's child nodes, and is printed after typing whether or not the text matched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The last run showed the title's child nodes being rewritten between the first keydown and its beforeinput, before the character went in. The log now records every DOM method call inside the title with the caller's bundle and line, so a rewrite by a script can be told from one by the browser, which never passes through those methods. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01XrG35JQKJBX1iNof5wtfjN

The last log showed the browser adding a zero-width space text node to the title between the first keydown and its beforeinput, and a script removing a node right after, but the call site's bundle name had been trimmed off. The log now keeps the package directory in stack frames, names the node each DOM call adds or removes, and lists each mutation's added and removed nodes.

…t key The lost first key never reaches the canvas document. Record what the top document sees, when the main thread is busy, when the keyboard resizes the viewport and when the page finishes loading, and keep the whole log rather than a window around the first key.

The first synthesized touch of a run can lose its lift inside the simulator: backboardd registers the virtual digitizer a few milliseconds after its first event arrives, the lift is then dropped, and the touch is cancelled when the digitizer goes away. The keyboard key was that first touch, so the first character of the title went missing in about one run in five. Tapping the already focused empty title first spends that touch where a landed or a lost tap changes nothing. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

A tap into the focused empty title is not free of side effects: the field holds a zero-width padding character, and a tap that lands the caret after it switches the keyboard to lowercase, which is what the test measures. Spend the first synthesized touch of a run on the status bar of the home screen instead, before Safari is up, so the test body types from its first line and the title is never touched. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

…time goes The title renders before the editor finishes loading and focuses it, and on a runner the second step has taken over twenty seconds after the first. One wait for the focused title, with the budget the element wait had, covers both. The page log now records the navigation timing and every resource each document loaded, grouped by kind with the slowest named, once the canvas is up, and the test prints the log at teardown so a failed run keeps it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5.1 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The page-side log, its blueprint step, the TLOG prints in the test and the simulator log capture in the runner script only existed to find why the first typed key was sometimes lost. The cause is known and handled by the warm-up tap, so they go. The editor page request stays for its check that the plugin serves this checkout's build.

Return on an empty list item, or on an empty paragraph inside a quote, replaces the wrapper and selected the new paragraph as a block. Its field then took focus from the editing host and gave it back, which resets the iOS keyboard to lowercase. Select the start of its text instead, as inserting and splitting already do.

…he editable root When a block's field mounts, it now selects its own start (or end) in the store, and the field moves focus before applying that selection. This replaces the editable root checks in insertBlocks, the split and the Enter handlers, so the caret lands without a focus round trip for any block.
