What?

This PR adds a default value to innerBlockImages in case of undefined values.

Why?

Some parts of the code expect innerBlockImages to be defined as well as other values that come from that variable. Some have optional chaining cases but others don't and we are getting some crashes on the mobile editor. Unfourtnaley I couldn't find the exact steps to reproduce the crash but by looking at the code and the stack traces, this code change should address them.

How?

By setting a default empty array value to innerBlockImages.

Hey @glendaviesnz 👋 I added you as a reviewer for this PR but please let me know if you want me to add someone else. Thank you!

For additional context, this appears quite similar to #49557. Can/should we add tests covering this issue?

Hey @dcalhoun Thanks for sharing that PR. In regards to tests, I haven't found a way to reproduce why the block wouldn't have inner blocks, I guess we could add a test mocking what it is being returned from the blockEditorStore but I think the issue has to be somewhere else and not specific for this block, as I don't see in the project a lot of usage of optional chaining to access a block's inner blocks.

Let me know what you think.

I have been unable to identify the core issue or reproduce the error as well. I agree the errors we are addressing are mere symptoms of a deeper issue. It is a frustratingly elusive issue.

A test mocking a return for blockEditorStore seems reasonable to me to cover this obviously real-world scenario causing a very poor user experience (thank you for fixing it). While it is unlikely someone would intentionally remove the default value added here, a test would help us avoid inadvertently reintroducing this crash if we one day refactor this component.

Additionally, while considering your questions, I further reviewed the errors and the related useGetNewImages Hook where the errors originate. Should we instead apply this fix to useGetNewImages, which would more closely mirror #49557? The reasons to do so might be:

  1. Consistent approach applied between Hooks, e.g. useGetMedia.js1.
  2. Allow a Hook unit test to cover this crash, e.g. useGetMedia.js.
  3. Update useGetNewImages to have an accurate return value that matches its current JSDoc, i.e. always an Array.
  4. Allow removing the optional chain in Image edit.js.

WDYT?

Footnotes

  1. I only applied this to the native file at the time in the name of speed to blindly fix a crash. In reality, this may should be applied back to the web file as well.

Yeah it is a tricky one 😓

I agree, I'll work on adding this 🙇

The thing is that there are other parts of the code that rely on the value of innerBlockImages so even if we set a default value for the useGetNewImages it will crash for example in this line since it depends of images to be an array, we could also take care of this and other parts where it is expected an array but I think it'd be simpler to just add a default value for innerBlockImages to prevent future issues if more code is added that relies on this. What do you think?

Update useGetNewImages to have an accurate return value that matches its current JSDoc, i.e. always an Array.

I guess this happens when we don't have typed code e.g. Typescript, ideally this hook is expecting its first parameter images to be an Array, it is not optional so adding a default value could work but we shouldn't be passing undefined values there 😅

Yes, that does make sense. Keeping the current approach sounds good.

After considering the error further, I wonder if the issue is not that innerBlocks is missing, but that getBlock returns null due to not finding the queried block. getBlock tests assert that it returns innerBlocks and null when not found. null?.innerBlocks returns undefined, which would produce the observed error stack trace.

I do not share that to say we need to postpone merging this fix, but to share the thought that we may be asking the wrong question with "why would a block's innerBlocks be undefined?" The a more appropriate question may be "why is the block ID not found in the tree?"

That's a good question, I do know we have cases where a block could be undefined so it's definitely a larger problem in the project.

I'll merge this to see if it solves the current Sentry issues we are getting.
