Good Catch. Thanks for Report and PR.

I managed to make this commit to the trunk branch of my fork, so I had to delete the repo and make a new fork. This is why the pull-request is set to closed on Github. I’m new to this hehe.

Hi @christian-dale,

Did you mean to close this out? I had this marked to circle back to, but noticed it's closed out now.

Hello @desrosj,

I apologize for the confusion here. I managed to make this commit to the «trunk» brach of my fork, so it seemed the easiest way to fix my repo was to delete it and make a new fork with correct branching.

This seemed to have caused the pull-request to be closed, but it is still open for merging :)

Reopening because this will need to be backported to the 6.4 branch.

Thanks! I am not sure how to really test this without merging. It seems straightforward enough, though. So I've gone and committed it in https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/57667. I tested, and it seems to work as expected.

I'm curious, do you use Codespaces for wordpress-develop? And if so, how often, and what do you typically use it for?

We added support for Codespaces, but I have not seen anyone use it as their preferred tool.

I just recently started contributing to the Wordpress codebase, so I thought the easiest way to start testing would be by using GitHub Codespaces. The build processed failed, and that's why this was my first commit.

I can't say Github Codespaces is my preferred dev environment, but it very useful for quick prototyping.
