Refactored WP_Debug_Data::debug_data() Part 1 by apermo · Pull Request #7065 · WordPress/wordpress-develop

apermo · 2024-07-20T11:48:53Z

Changed: Moving $info['wp-filesystem'] to own function

Follow up to #7027 as discussed with @dmsnell and @costdev

To keep the structure intact over all PRs, we will start moving content from the $info array into own function from the bottom up, this way the result will always be identical and combarable.

Summary of the coming steps:

wp-filesystem (we are here)
wp-constants
wp-database
wp-server
wp-media
wp-plugins-active & wp-plugins-inactive
wp-mu-plugins
wp-themes-inactive
wp-parent-theme
wp-active-theme
wp-dropins
wp-paths-sizes
wp-core

Refactoring WP_Debug_Data::debug_data(); into smaller functions for

better maintainability
reduced complexity
preparation for future unit tests
improved extensibility (see trac for details)
added php7.2 style type hints
fixed an error with $parent_theme_auto_update_string showing the value from $auto_updates_string (This will be handled only in Step 9)

I decided to move the add_filter() calls from WP_Debug_Data::debug_data() to a new function WP_Debug_Data::init_filters() which is called on admin_init this way the filters be altered in a non hacky way by plugin authors easily.

apermo · 2024-07-21T11:26:37Z

Update: I had to move that around a bit, in order to minimize dependencies. To allow plugin authors a convenient way to rearrange debug information, I introduced a new action pre_debug_information that will be fired directly before the filter debug_information, I decided to do this, instead of relying on plugin authors to use the filter to achieve the same, since I understand that it is a kind of hacky approach to use a filter to do an actions job.

Changed: Moving add_filter calls a distinct function. Added: 'pre_debug_information' to allow plugin_authors to alter, add, or remove the core debug information callbacks.

Removed: Outdated information from phpDoc

apermo · 2024-07-21T15:15:34Z

In branch refactor-wp-debug-data-old is the original PR, with a minor update, to integrate changed approaches and more phpDoc from the new refactoring.

In refactor-wp-debug-data/all-parts there is already one commit for each refactored function prepared as stated above.

@costdev

Applied code review from @costdev

Removed: ::init_filters() Changed: From apply_filters approach to return array approach.

dmsnell

I'll let some other folks review this if they want, but the code as proposed seems clear enough to me.

costdev

Thanks for the updates @apermo!

I've left one small change to meet Docblock language standards.

costdev · 2024-07-24T20:56:31Z

Thanks @apermo! I think this looks like a good approach for making things more maintainable.

Hopefully @afragen and @Clorith have some time to take a look at this and review as Site Health component maintainers.

costdev

Approving from my perspective, pending reviews from one or more component maintainers.

LGTM 👍

Prepping to merge.

This is the first part in a larger modularization of the data in `WP_Debug_Data`. Previously this was a single massive method drawing in debug data from various groups of related data, where the groups were independent from each other. This patch separates the first of twelve groups, the `wp-filesystem` info, into a separate method focused on that data. This work precedes changes to make the `WP_Debug_Data` class more extensible for better use by plugin and theme code. Developed in #7065 Discussed in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/61648 Props: afragen, apermo, costdev, dmsnell.
