Hey @DOUARA, thanks for working on this enhancement!

I've just put together a PR (#22654) for improving the instructions for those particular tests.

Does this help you solve the issue:

@talldan
Two tests has failed, this time is weird, seems to be out the scope of the changes that I have made, any thoughts?

[talldan]

Hey @DOUARA. Some of the end to end tests can fail inconsistently at times. Usually there's an effort to improve them if they fail, but it's sometimes hard to find the ones that are inconsistently failing.

Sometimes the best option is just to re-run the tests. If you login to Travis you can do that, though you may have to be a member of the project, I'm not sure. Since you'll soon have a few contributions I think you could be added as a member.

This particular test was only introduced yesterday, and it seems problematic so it's been disabled - #22726.

If you rebase and push your PR that test shouldn't fail.

Hi @talldan,
it worked!

For Wordpress Twenty Twenty theme. Is this intended to provide a fix for pages with post excerpts not showing an obvious link such as Read more... at the bottom of the post? i.e., leaving just a very unobvious need for a reader to click on the heading of the post ...if the heading hasn't been suppressed?

if it is.. I would like to be able to set the size of excerpts in words and provide a Continue reading link to the full Post (however that is phrased).

Again if it is.. Anything I can help with? perhaps testing with a live twenty-twenty WP site?
