the post_name field is not taken into account

[yperret]

it seems that the post_name field is never defined and takes the slug from the title.

After look, the control in wp_insert_post for if the field is defined doesn't work.

Code :

        $my_post = array(
            'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags("Logout"),
            'post_name '    => "logout-page",
            'post_content'  => "",
            'post_status'   => 'publish',
            'post_type'     => 'page'
        );
    
        $logout = wp_insert_post( $my_post );

Maybe the problem is located at the line 4281 in post.php

Hello @yperret ,

I tried to replicate the issue and I found an error in the code mentioned above.

'post_name '    => "logout-page"

There is a space before the closing single quote. If you remove the space, it starts working as expected.

Correct Version -

'post_name' => "logout-page"

Hello @yperret,

Welcome to WordPress Core's Trac.

As @the-ank noted (thank you!), there's an extra space in the supplied example code which will cause the problem you noted:

'post_name '    => "logout-page",

In testing the supplied code with the key as 'post_name', it works for me. Closing this ticket as worksforme. However, if the problem persists after changing the 'post_name' key, please reopen to share your findings.

Note: I'm also removing the Version as 6.6.1 did not include changes to this area of the code.
