Global styles: resolve dynamic refs #43249

What?

A follow up for #43166

Why?

To clean up how we resolve dynamic refs in the editor, remove duplicated code.

Also, because the style engine doesn't yet handle dynamic refs, moving the logic outside the getCSSRules loop.

margin and probably some other props were being skipped because of this.

How?

This commit adds a utility function to resolve dynamic refs and add conditions to prevent recursive refs.

Testing Instructions

I'm using empty theme to test!

Here is some test theme.json

{
	"version": 2,
	"styles": {
		"color": {
			"text": {
				"ref": "styles.color.background"
			},
			"background": {
				"ref": "styles.color.text"
			}
		},
		"typography": {
			"letterSpacing": {
				"ref": "styles.spacing.blockGap"
			}
		},
		"spacing": {
			"margin": {
				"ref": "styles.spacing.blockGap"
			},
			"blockGap": "11px"
		}
	}
}

What we want to do is make sure the editor styles in .editor-styles-wrapper are displayed as they are on the frontend.

You'll see a PHP warning:

Notice: Function get_property_value was called <strong>incorrectly</strong>. Your theme.json file uses a dynamic value ({"ref":"styles.color.background"}) for the path at ["color","background"]. However, the value at ["color","background"] is also a dynamic value (pointing to styles.color.background) and pointing to another dynamic value is not supported. Please update ["color","background"] to point directly to styles.color.background. Please see <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/article/debugging-in-wordpress/">Debugging in WordPress</a> for more information. (This message was added in version 6.1.0.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 5831

This is expected because of the recursive reference.

Check that the test case in #43166 is still valid. That is, make sure the editor doesn't crash. 😄

Run the tests!

npm run test:unit

I'm actually getting a crash in the editor when I go to edit in global styles the text color:

Thanks for testing @MaggieCabrera

There's also an error when I select the background color control.

It makes me think we need to deal with these value at a higher level, either the point at which we first parse incoming theme settings in the JS or on the server 🤷

What do you reckon?

The editor did not correctly resolve dynamic refs and the style engine does not yet support resolution.
This commit adds a utility function to resolve dynmamic refs and add conditions to prevent recursive refs.

Yeah, I think it makes sense that the frontend just gets values that need to be resolved but that we know are correct beforehand

Closing this. A bit stale and there doesn't appear to be an immediate need.
