Test using WordPress Playground

The changes in this pull request can previewed and tested using a WordPress Playground instance.

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.

@ramonjd are you checking the unit test failure?

are you checking the unit test failure?

@mukeshpanchal27 This PR is work in progress (WIP) so, no, not yet. I still need to work on the feature a bit first.

Thanks!

@jonnynews

It would be handy to be able to opt-out of these as well if folks want to skip registering these routes, e.g., 'autosave_rest_controller_class' => false, in register_post_type().

Or a supports_autosaves, similar to supports_revisions? 🤷🏻

@ramonjd For now, we could just add the global post type here -

wordpress-develop/src/wp-includes/class-wp-post-type.php

Lines 925 to 927 in 235cb39

	if ( 'attachment' === $this->name ) {
	return null;

@ramonjd I put together my own PR for this #6022. It is a couple of fixes applied to your PR. I think this version of the PR is very nearly there and is near commit.
