E2E theme switch: match incoming theme slug, then optional folder #59851
Conversation
The `optionalFolder` regex part matches paths with a folder, so it will return the first match, which might contain a folder. First try to honor the including theme slug, that is, without a folder, the look for the optional folder path, if any.

The first match is to honor any incoming themeSlug when the tester wants to be explicit.

Just double-checking I'm understanding the logic here. The goal is to:
- First attempt to match without an optional folder (i.e. default to theme included in the WP release)
- Then attempt to match with an optional folder (i.e. default to a theme in a nested location)
- For situations were folks wish to explicitly include a folder, they can include it in the value of
themeSlug?
That sounds pretty reasonable to me, as I imagine the expectation is to go with the direct theme first, unless someone has explicitly declared otherwise 👍

Yes, what you wrote is also my understanding (and the intention behind this change). Thanks for the 👀 !! |

Thanks for confirming, the logic here sounds good to me. Given that it's an optionalFolder, preferencing first checking for a match without a folder I think is a good plan, and if anyone using the function winds up encountering an edge case, it's still possible for them to provide a folder explicitly, so this LGTM! ✨

What?
I don't know if this PR is good or not, but throwing it out there.
When switching themes in E2E tests,
optionalFolderregex part matches paths with a folder, so it will return the first match, which might contain a folder.The consequence is that the regex will match
somefolder/twentytwentyfourgiven a theme slug oftwentytwentyfour, and therefore tests that wish to test againsttwentytwentyfourwon't be able to becausesomefolder/twentytwentyfourwill be activated instead.Why?
Context: #59792 (comment)
How?
Test for incoming theme slug first.
First try to honor the including theme slug, that is, without a folder, the look for the optional folder path, if any.
Testing Instructions
All E2E tests should pass.
