beko I may have found a pattern. Parse-This seems to have problems finding data when the h-entry is nested in an h-feed. Some websites seem to wrap single articles in a feed with one child for reasons unknown to me. This is probably even legit for microformats.

#
[pfefferle] I would rephrase it to: most wordpress sites use hfeed also on single pages
#
GWG beko: I am positive that I tested that scenario many times, but need to look at your data
#
GWG I'm trying to figure out mf2 unit tests right now for another project
#
[pfefferle] I know that one 😋

#
GWG [pfefferle]: I have to figure out how to get the test files. Construct some... use people's websites for others
#
[pfefferle] I would use peoples websites
#
[pfefferle] see semantic-linkbacks for some examples: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/tree/master/tests/templates
#
[pfefferle] but I would refresh them
#
[pfefferle] and then add some popular wordpress themes as example posts
#
[pfefferle] see: https://github.com/pfefferle/wordpress-semantic-linkbacks/blob/master/tests/test-microformats.php#L18
#
GWG I still have the hardest time with testing
#
GWG It's slow for me, but I will get it done
#
[pfefferle] it does not have to be perfect, but some tests so that we see that it works for different kind of themplates
#
[pfefferle] and to check if changes will break something
#
[pfefferle] it is ok for me if there is at least a test that test the complete parsing thing
#
[pfefferle] put a website in and check the output
#
[pfefferle] does the parser find the correct h-entry with the correct author and reaction-type
#
[pfefferle] what we did for the SL plugin
#
GWG [pfefferle]: Should I build the reaction type code first then?

beko GWG: well, today I tried to like https://blog.landesmuseum-stuttgart.de/ludwigsburger-porzellan-ein-vermaechtnis-fuer-das-landesmuseum/ and the microformats look just fine for me and yet - Parse This yield an empty result [again] while https://paulopinto.page/2020/06/15/my-st-radio.html worked just fine. Kinda at a loss. Nothing of interest in the logs.
#
beko morning btw :)
#
beko oh wait… it's noon now, no?
#
GWG 10:56
#
GWG But will have a look...
#
beko GWG: I see. I always forget that there is a Parse This Debugger page (because it does not show as regular WordPress user - it needs admin role) and it works whhen I switch the Return Type to Feed
#
beko Single is indeed empty. Looks like the auto parsing does not try Feed type.
#
beko No way I can influence this behaivor from /post-new.php?kind=like no?

beko Interesting. This one https://stackoverflow.blog/2020/04/06/a-practical-guide-to-writing-technical-specs/ parses a complete jsonld just fine but also yields nothing on the auto parse on post-new.php. The result is just reported via JSON but never used.

beko As for e https://blog.landesmuseum-stuttgart.de/ludwigsburger-porzellan-ein-vermaechtnis-fuer-das-landesmuseum/ it is detected as feed but has only _meta object in the returned JSON on post-new.php and while the og object looks good it's also never used.

GWG beko, I may take a page from pfefferle's discussion with me and move it to Tools
#
beko 👍
#
[chrisaldrich] GWG is there an issue page where we can add example pages to for you as potential tests for the parser? It seems like I recall one, but I can't find it now.

GWG [chrisaldrich]: The Parse This GitHub repo....linked in the parsing debugge

#
[jgmac1106] beko the very first thing I do when hacking on a WP theme or plugin is just do a global search for old microformats and delete them
#
[jgmac1106] ...half the time all you need to do for a theme to almost work with the mf2 plugin
[snarfed] joined the channel
#
[chrisaldrich] Be careful to do a search for those old microformats in the style.css file and not simply delete them, but replace them so the styles don't break. 🙂
#
[chrisaldrich] I've found a lot of themes that will use them for styling, which is something I generally wouldn't recommend.
