Fixes #21699

Description

This adds a check to see if all of the posts being deleted are drafted, and only sets cacheInvalidate if not (since site.changed is triggered because of X-Cache-Invalidate header)

Checklist

  • There's a clear use-case for this code change, explained below
  • Commit message has a short title & references relevant issues
  • The build will pass (run yarn test:all and yarn lint)

Walkthrough

The update modifies the bulkDestroy and destroy methods in the posts endpoint. Both methods now ensure that the X-Cache-Invalidate header defaults to false. In the bulkDestroy method, an asynchronous query fetches posts matching a given filter with status 'all', and it checks whether all posts are drafts. If any post is not a draft, the header is set to "/". Similarly, in the destroy method, an asynchronous query retrieves a post by ID and, upon determining that the post is not a draft, sets the header to "/". Overall, the changes adjust cache invalidation behavior based on post status so that deleting drafts does not trigger unintended actions.

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

Hey there @im-adithya, I see you've made quite a few PRs with bugfixes, really appreciate the effort 🙏

We have a working practice of always adding a unit test to demonstrate a bug fix, otherwise it's liable to either not be fixed properly, or regress again. How do you feel about adding tests to your changes?

Cheers!

Hey Hannah! Thanks for noticing, would be more than happy to have them reviewed :)

Absolutely, I added the test now. The test files (atleast the ones in e2e-webhooks) only had the checks for single addition/deletion, so I only checked deletion of a single draft post. Let me know if I should add for bulk deletion too!

157-157: Minor inconsistency in variable naming.

The variable name requestWasReceived uses a different spelling compared to requestWasRecieved on line 81. Consider standardizing the spelling across all tests for better code consistency.

-        const requestWasReceived = await Promise.race([
+        const requestWasRecieved = await Promise.race([

Though I personally recommend fixing the other occurrence to use the correct spelling "received" instead.

127-165: Well-structured test case for verifying draft post deletion behavior.

This test case correctly verifies that the site.changed event is not triggered when draft posts are deleted, which aligns with the PR objective. The test follows the same pattern as other tests in the file and effectively validates the fix for issue #21699.

Hi @im-adithya. Thank you for picking up my bug report!

Do you see a way to apply the bugfix to draft pages as well? I checked 5.115.0, and deleting draft pages is also triggering the site.changed webhook.

Applies the draft-aware cache invalidation guard to pages and lightens
the status lookups to fetch only the status column. Adds e2e-webhooks
coverage for the bulk-posts path, draft pages (single + bulk), and
guards that published post/page deletion still invalidates the cache.
