There was a problem hiding this comment.
LGTM, thanks! The three widget tests no longer fail on PHP 8.0, and the remaining Template controller error is fixed in the next PR.

Part of #82936.
What?
In
WP_REST_Widgets_Controller::save_widget(), passesnullas the widget name when the request has noname, instead of reading$input_widget['name']unconditionally.Why?
The request doesn't have to include
name. On PHP 8 the missing key is a warning, so threeREST_Widgets_Controller_Testtests fail on thePHP 8.0jobs:These endpoints first shipped in WordPress 5.8. On this branch they exist only as plugin code in
lib/, which isn't in any npm package and never reaches a WordPress 5.7 release. A small change here keeps the tests green, so security fixes for the packages WordPress 5.7 does ship can be verified reliably.How?
The
isset()ternary passes the samenullPHP 7 already passed, so behavior is unchanged. It's used instead of??because this file also loads on PHP 5.6. Later versions of this controller were rewritten, so there's no upstream fix to port.Use of AI Tools
