Cart block not working on WordPress.com site

[tarunvijwani]

Describe the bug

If we create a new page and add a cart block on a WordPress.com site, the screen gets freeze, and the browser gets crashes after a few minutes.

To reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to My Site → Pages → Add New.
2. Add Cart block to the page.
3. Notice the screen gets freeze.

Expected behavior

Cart block should be added to the page

Environment

WordPress:

• Core version: 5.9
• Gutenberg version (if installed): 12.5.4
• WooCommerce version: 6.2
• WooCommerce Blocks version: 6.9.0

Looks like requests are being made to the https://siteurl.com/wp-json/wp/v2/block-renderer/woocommerce/product-new?context=edit&attributes%5Bcolumns%5D=3&attributes%5Brows%5D=1&attributes%5BalignButtons%5D=false&attributes%5BcatOperator%5D=any&attributes%5BcontentVisibility%5D%5Btitle%5D=true&attributes%5BcontentVisibility%5D%5Bprice%5D=true&attributes%5BcontentVisibility%5D%5Brating%5D=true&attributes%5BcontentVisibility%5D%5Bbutton%5D=true&attributes%5BisPreview%5D=false&attributes%5BstockStatus%5D%5B0%5D=instock&attributes%5BstockStatus%5D%5B1%5D=outofstock&attributes%5BstockStatus%5D%5B2%5D=onbackorder&post_id=2&_locale=user

URL repeatedly on WPCOM, but not on local sites. I thought it would perhaps be lack of products causing this, but my WPCOM site has products.

Was able to workaround by using Shortcode block

The issue appears on my test site too.

On a WordPress.com site, I was able to add the Cart and Checkout blocks to a page. But the front end doesn't load the content of the blocks. In the editor, it loads just fine.

Site: https://testingatomicsite.wpcomstaging.com/

WooCommerce: 6.6.1 WooCommerce blocks: 8.0.0

Editor	Front-end

Another report. On my test site, I could not replicate this, but on the user's site, I could. I deactivated all user plugin and switched themes. Didn't help.

Another report below:

I'm able to reproduce the issue on user's site and mine.

Based on another ticket in 5167612-zd-woothemes , I tried switching between FSE and non-FSE themes, both having similar issue.

Same for me - I was setting up a demo site for @manospsyx and it hang and crashed (tried Chrome and Firefox)

No errors in console

I was able to replicate this on a WordPress.com site. Suggested shortcodes as a workaround.

Hi @senadir 👋 I have another report of this issue in 5684636-zen

I was able to reproduce this on my test site on a draft page. Both the user and I received an error like this when trying to add the Cart Block using the block selector: 2e1e5-pb/

This is what I experienced:

Themes:

• The user is using the Morden theme.
• I was using Storefront on my site.

Plugins:

For my test, I only had our preinstalled plugins enabled, along with WooCommerce.

This is still happening on 5689158-zen

The customer is using the shortcode workaround.

If memory serves me well, these issues will be fixed in the upcoming WooCommerce 7.1 release (that will include the new version of blocks) - But I'll leave it to the owners of the repository to check and let you know.

@pauljacobson can you try Woo 7.0 and https://wordpress.org/plugins/woo-gutenberg-products-block/ on your test site ?

This will install the latest Woo Blocks version, overriding the one bundled with WooCommerce 7.0 .

I wouldn't recommend suggesting this to clients, as WooCommerce 7.1 is released tomorrow, which contains the latest Blocks. But if they are in a hurry and need to fix their issues, it wouldn't hurt.

Hi there @PanosSynetos 👋 Thank you for the suggestion. I also received this suggestion from the team on Slack. I've already relayed this suggestion but I'll bear in mind the 7.1 release if I encounter this issue again.
