Attribute types incompatibility on WordPress 5.5

[toufic-m]

Follow-up to the above: simply changing the existing attribute types from int to integer does in fact prevent the warnings, but is not enough, and would require additional changes to the plugin's codebase, as it would not be compatible with the current version of the plugin, nor backwards-compatible with pre-existing Brightcove video blocks in the Gutenberg editor, that were added in older versions of WordPress. Whereas, changing the attribute types to string seems to be fully compatible so far.

This issue appears to persist in WordPress 5.6

A possible workaround is to change these attributes using the filter register_block_type_args:

add_filter(
	'register_block_type_args',
	function ( $args, $block_type ) {
		if ( 'bc/brightcove' === $block_type ) {
			$args['attributes']['account_id']['type']  = 'string';
			$args['attributes']['video_id']['type']    = 'string';
			$args['attributes']['playlist_id']['type'] = 'string';
			$args['attributes']['video_ids']['type']   = 'string';
		}

		return $args;
	},
	10,
	2
);
