Jetpack: Deprecate Errors class #37451

bindlegirl · 2024-05-20T15:51:03Z

Fixes https://github.com/Automattic/vulcan/issues/333

Proposed changes:

Deprecated catch_errors() method in Errors class which effectively deprecates the class itself.
Deprecated catch_errors_on_shutdown() since 'php_errors' state wasn't used anywhere.
Removed the code calling the method (modules activation).

Testing instructions:

Load Jetpack and see if enabling or disabling modules still works.
Try breaking a module (eg. Carousel) and toggling it on using the settings page. You should see the error notification pop up but Jetpack should still work. The error will be logged to debug.log depending on wp-config.settings.
