Summary

Gutenberg Experiments page and drops the user directly on the Guidelines admin
screen.

What it does

  1. Installs the Gutenberg plugin
  2. Runs a PHP snippet to toggle on the gutenberg-guidelines key in the
    gutenberg-experiments option
  3. Lands the logged-in user on /wp-admin/admin.php?page=guidelines-wp-admin

Testing

Preview in WordPress Playground:
https://playground.wordpress.net/?blueprint-url=https://raw.githubusercontent.
com/smithjw1/blueprints/trunk/blueprints/gutenberg-guidelines/blueprint.json

  • Gutenberg plugin is active
  • GutenbergExperiments shows the Guidelines experiment checked
  • Landing page is /wp-admin/admin.php?page=guidelines-wp-admin

Using the blue "Test with Playground button" the blueprint fails with this error message:

Could not download "https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/gutenberg.latest-stable.zip".

Confirm that the URL is correct, the server is reachable, and the file is actually served at that URL. Original error:
TypeError: Failed to fetch

BlueprintStepExecutionError: Error when executing the blueprint step #2: Could not download "https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/gutenberg.latest-stable.zip".
Must be a problem with the tools

Using the blueprint in a new playground instance, it works well.
