WordPress Playground is an experimental project that creates a full WordPress instance entirely within the browser.

Some things to be aware of

• The Plugin and Theme Directories cannot be accessed within Playground.
• All changes will be lost when closing a tab with a Playground instance.
• All changes will be lost when refreshing the page.
• A fresh instance is created each time the link below is clicked.
• Every time this pull request is updated, a new ZIP file containing all changes is created. If changes are not reflected in the Playground instance,
  it's possible that the most recent build failed, or has not completed. Check the list of workflow runs to be sure.

For more details about these limitations and more, check out the Limitations page in the WordPress Playground documentation.

LGTM!

Thanks @carolinan! It seems the failures are valid since the excerpt is returned in the API response.

I don't know what that means, who can help fix it?

I'm not excerpt here, but I tried this:

1. In your branch start the dev environment npm run env:start
2. Run the php tests npm run test:php
3. Just by running the tests, my tests/qunit/fixtures/wp-api-generated.js file got updated with the excerpt info in wp/v2/blocks endpoint.

Can you try the above and then push the changes from the generated file? I believe this should be enough, but if this doesn't work, let's ping some more folks 😄
