[tomalec]

Changes proposed in this Pull Request:

This is a cleanup task, as the fixes for forked components were released.

• Update @woocommerce/components to the latest 6.2.0 from 5.1.2 (7953722)
• Remove forked ReportFilters & co. (53ea575)
  as those fixes were released in @woocommerce/components:
  • CompareFilter does not forward autocompleter setting to the Search  woocommerce-admin#6890,
  • FilterPicker does not forward all props to Search component woocommerce-admin#6062
• Set static options in Programs autocomplete, (dda400e)
  as Search fix Search component does not accept static options Array in autocomplete woocommerce-admin#6061 was released.

Screenshots:

Detailed test instructions:

According to the woocommerce/components/CHANGELOG.md#620 the majority of changes were around Search, SummaryNumber and <Filter> components. So report pages are at the biggest risk, to be broken.

1. Go to report pages, or any other you may suspect :|
2. Check that it works as before.

Changelog Note:

Removed forked @woocommerce/components.

Additional notes:

• Removing external-components makes it easier for us to catch up with other dependencies. For example, the latest @woocommerce/eslint-plugin complains a lot about external dependencies and experimental components being used. We have those problems also in our components, but this PR reduces a few.

Does this have any implications for our support of older versions of wc/wc-admin/wp?

Ha! Good question, I haven't thought about it :| Is there some kind of compatibility table between @woocommerce-admin/{package} and Woo?

The README of the entire wc-admin, states

WordPress 5.4 or greater and WooCommerce 4.8.0 or greater

(for us it's "- WordPress 5.3+ - WooCommerce 4.5+" )
So it may be affected. But what is the relation between wc-admin as a whole, and just /components?

---

I did some digging and it seems that they bumped WP to 5.4 at the time of /components@5.1.2 (our current) being used. So even 5.1.3 may be problematic :/

I have WooCommerce 4.9.2 and WooCommerce Admin 2.12. in my local site. If the status of the wc-admin plugin is

• activated, then it would load /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-admin/dist/components/index.min.js?ver=2.1.2
• deactivated, then it would load /wp-content/plugins/woocommerce-admin/dist/components/index.min.js?ver=1.8.3

and both of them have the components@5.1.2 inside. Unfortunately, seems to be incompatible:

[jconroy]

WordPress 5.4 or greater and WooCommerce 4.8.0 or greater

Yep as you say, that version bump happened in Feb after we'd kicked things off.

I don't think we can rush this one right now. Let's knock over the reporting issues and then circle back

[tomalec]

I guess, it got unlocked after we bumped required versions to

WP 5.5
WC 5.2

in #803

[tomalec]

Unfortunately, WC 5.2 uses wc-admin at 2.1.5 https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce/blob/5.2.0/composer.json#L24
Which still uses /components at 5.1.2 https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/blob/v2.1.5/packages/components/package.json#L3

@jconroy @eason9487 Do you know why we can't use our own version of /components and we have to share it with wc-admin?

I thought that was the main advantage of React over Web Components, that using different versions of the same component is easy and seamless. Is this a technical or policy limitation?

[eason9487]

Do you know why we can't use our own version of /components and we have to share it with wc-admin?

I guess it's a consideration of the overall bundle size of js files. But actually, we're still using our own specific version of @wordpress/components, maybe it's not a mandatory restriction?

Also, if we can use our own specific dependency versions, there should be fewer compatibility issues with different versions of WordPress and WooCommerce.

[tomalec]

I'm rebasing this PR on top of #1110 as there we move to WC5.6+ => @woocommerce/components 8.0.0 7.1.0+ which has the changes we need https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-admin/blob/v2.6.5/packages/components/CHANGELOG.md

[eason9487]

Tested with WC 5.7 and 5.9, and there are no errors in either.

🚧
However, an inappropriate falsy check was later added to the <FilterPicker> component, resulting in the free listings program ID 0 being cleared from the URL query programs when filtering single program by free listings program.

Before: page=wc-admin&reportKey=programs&path=%2Fgoogle%2Freports&filter=single_program&programs=0
After:  page=wc-admin&reportKey=programs&path=%2Fgoogle%2Freports&filter=single_program

---

One relevant hidden influence is that the isSubset check here will not be true, but in terms of results, it will still fall into the else logic, making the correct rendering result of single program filter. It can be reproduced by refresh the page with path /wp-admin/admin.php?page=wc-admin&reportKey=programs&path=%2Fgoogle%2Freports&filter=single_program.

google-listings-and-ads/js/src/reports/programs/filter-config.js

Lines 74 to 82 in 4924446

	// If it's a subset of static values, resolve it immediately.
	if ( isSubset( ids, freeListingsProgramsIds ) ) {
	programs = freeListingsPrograms;
	} else {
	// If there are any paid programs, resolve it once we get it.
	programs = ( await promiseProgramsList ).filter( ( campaign ) =>
	ids.has( campaign.id )
	);
	}

Another influence is that it still queries the APIs for paid programs and shows incorrect reporting results.

📜 Probably solution

Fix by WC-admin will need to continue waiting for the next L-2 to include the patch. To move forward with this PR, I tried changing FREE_LISTINGS_PROGRAM_ID constant to -1 and it seems to work correctly, but I didn't check if there are new side effects afterward.

[tomalec]

Thanks for finding that!

This looks almost like a regression for woocommerce/woocommerce-admin#7028

I think it really unfortunate, we cannot use either the old or new version of @woocommerce/components.FilterPicker.
Maybe we need to PR the full tests coverage for the component to wc-admin repo, before we start using it here :|
