The warning occurs in other PHP versions as well. See preg_match.


The regex in question:

'/(^|&)loading='

It's simply missing a trailing /.


"Why are we only finding this out now?"

No tests hit the condition on Line 198. See the report (this is subject to change, of course). As a result, the faulty preg_match() is never triggered and so the warning is not thrown.

This is why tests should at least achieve line coverage for all new code.


To trigger the warning (+hint for unit tests):

  1. Switch to Twenty Twenty-One.
  2. Create a page and add a Featured Image.
  3. Add this to page.php:
<?php

if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
        get_the_post_thumbnail(
                get_the_ID(),
                'post-thumbnail',
                'does_not_contain_loading=true'
        );
endwhile; endif;
  1. Load the page.
  2. You should see this warning:

Warning: preg_match(): No ending delimiter '/' found in /wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php on line 198
