block.json strings not being extracted

[swissspidy]

Apparently the latest Gutenberg release (10.6.0) relies solely on block.json for translatable strings like block title and description.

While ​the WP-CLI i18n command does support extracting strings from that file, it appears that this is not the case yet for translate.wordpress.org.

What WP-CLI version is required for this? On wp.org we're still using 2.2.0 because issue ​#185 and ​#186 are preventing an update.

[swissspidy]

WP-CLI 2.5.0 or nightly (2.5 will be out this week), or simply the latest version of the i18n command package.

Sounds like we'd need to prioritize fixing those bugs first?

Do you think this will affect WordPress 5.8 as well when it lands, since it includes all changes in Gutenberg 10.6?

[ocean90]

Yes, it will as it's using the same tools.

Adding a report here that we are observing same issue in ja too.

• WordPress 5.8 beta 1, and beta 2.
• WordPress 5.7.2 + latest Gutenberg.

In ​dotorg17458:

Bin: Update WP-CLI to 2.5.0-dotorg

This is a ​custom WP-CLI build based on 2.5.0. The only difference is using a ​patched version of the i18n-command package which ​reverts an ​upstream change to restore the previous ​include/exclude behaviour.
