packages/core-data/src/resolvers.js

+	const users = yield apiFetch( {
+		path: `/wp/v2/users?who=authors&include=${ id }`,
+	} );
+	yield receiveUserQuery( 'author', users );


should the first argument here be "authors" to match the same entity as "getAuthors"?

Maybe? I think that results in the fetched author overwriting the authors? I can test.

Tested changing this and confirmed using the same key results in the query interfering with the getAuthors query, causing errors or unexpected results as the results from the two queries overwrite each other.

Mmm, so if I'm reading this right getAuthor(1) and getAuthor(2) are using the same query key which means if I trigger both concurrently, they'll mess with each other's result.

@youknowriad - Oh, good point. I didn't think about concurrent requests. Should we build a dynamic key here that includes the requested id? Do we have an existing component that uses this approach/a helper to create the query key?

Yes, I did add dynamic query keys for both getAuthor and getAuthors, I think it will solve both issues so I reverted the change you did with useMemo

packages/editor/src/components/post-author/index.js

-			const author = getUser( getEditedPostAttribute( 'author' ) );
+			const author =
+				postAuthor ||
+				__unstableGetAuthor( getEditedPostAttribute( 'author' ) )[ 0 ];


Actually, why do we need [ 0 ] here. getAuthor only returns one author right?

Yes, but it is returned as an array with a single element. I can change this so __unstableGetAuthor returns a single element which makes more sense based on the naming, does that sound good?

Seems like there's some valid test failures.

I'll take a look.

Seems like there's some valid test failures.

@youknowriad One issue was the selector was showing even when the site only had one author.

I had removed the check for authors.length <= 1 when switching to getAuthors because the authors in check.js uses the same data store as the selector itself, so when you started searching and got zero results, the authors in the check would also be empty and the selector would disappear!

To alleviate this I added originalAuthors behind a memo call in cead69d (#26554) so it is only set once. What do you think?

youknowriad · 2020-11-09T08:45:19Z

packages/core-data/src/selectors.js

+ */
+export function __unstableGetAuthor( state ) {
+	const authors = getUserQueryResults( state, 'author' );
+	return authors ? authors[ 0 ] : [];


It should probably return null if the author was not found.

Good point, will change.

youknowriad · 2020-11-09T08:47:20Z

the same data store as the selector itself, so when you started searching and got zero results, the authors in the check would also be empty and the selector would disappear!

I think that's the issue, both selectors use different queries, so they shouldn't share the same "query key".

adamsilverstein · 2020-11-13T17:20:17Z

I think that's the issue, both selectors use different queries, so they shouldn't share the same "query key".

Right - that is why I changed the single author query key to 'author' vs 'authors'

youknowriad · 2020-11-16T08:04:25Z

This is looking good for me, but it could use some testing @adamsilverstein

skorasaurus · 2020-11-16T17:26:02Z

Hi,

I tested this out (last commit - f507edb ) on a test site [wordpress 5.5.3] with no other plugins installed except this one and the select author dropdown does not appear, even as an admin user. I created another user with the 'editor' role just to be sure that the author drop down didn't display if there was only one registered user and still had the same result.

tellthemachines · 2020-11-17T01:17:21Z

Tested this branch on top of WP 5.6-beta4 and can confirm the post author dropdown isn't showing for either editor or admin users. The PostAuthor component doesn't seem to be rendering at all now 😕

youknowriad · 2020-11-17T07:20:13Z

Yep, i just realized I forgot to fix the query key in the selector.😅

skorasaurus · 2020-11-17T16:39:31Z

Thanks for the additional fix; with that last commit, I now confirm that the postauthor component now displays as intended and is keyboard accessible as well.

adamsilverstein · 2020-11-18T23:30:54Z

@youknowriad - Great! Works well in my testing.

👍 Looks good!
