all content arriving as single classic block, can't publish

[jshwlkr]

Describe the bug
Running three WP 5.3.2 sites (not multisite) locally via VVV, distributing content via pull seems to lump all content into a single classic editor block. The post is then unable to be published. If I edit the original post the content is added to the classic editor block in the distributed post.

Expected behavior
Blocks would remain intact in the distributed content and it would be publishable directly.

Environment information

• Device: MacBook Pro
• OS: MacOS 10.13.6

@jshwlkr can you confirm whether Gutenberg is active on the site the content is being pulled from and if so whether that version matches the version on the site pulling content?

This might also be related to #512, which there's an open PR for that we will merge in for a 2.0.0 release.

@jshwlkr are you able to test the develop version of Distributor as we've merged in a potential fix for this issue and would love your help testing to confirm things now work as expected?

[jshwlkr]

I can confirm the same version of Gutenberg is active on both sites. I've tried using develop, it is still not working as expected. (I don't know if it's pertinent, but I'm on PHP 7.3.15.)

I want to clarify this a little bit. The issue only happens with pulled posts of external connections.

Look at the code below, we use \Distributor\Utils\is_using_gutenberg( new \WP_Post( $obj ) ), this check is always false because we haven't add post content yet.

distributor/includes/classes/ExternalConnections/WordPressExternalConnection.php

Lines 914 to 917 in 6bd81f6

	// Use raw content if both remote and local are using Gutenberg.
	$obj->post_content = \Distributor\Utils\is_using_gutenberg( new \WP_Post( $obj ) ) && isset( $post['is_using_gutenberg'] ) ?
	$post['content']['raw'] :
	Utils\get_processed_content( $post['content']['raw'] );
