Default block alignment class is not in get_block_wrapper_attributes

[warudin]

Description

I created a block, the settings are below in the block.json.

The block should have a full width alignment by default (mentioned here in the documentation: https://developer.wordpress.org/block-editor/reference-guides/block-api/block-supports/#align)

This works good in the editor. But in my render file, the get_block_wrapper_attributes() function is not outputting the align class.

The align class is only returned when I configure another block width then the one that’s in the attributes (so ‘none’ or ‘wide’). The default alignment is never returned, even after toggling another one and going back to the default alignment.

block.json:
{
	...
	"attributes": {
		"align": {
			"type": "string",
			"default": "full"
		}
		...
	},
	"supports": {
		"html": false,
		"align": [
			"wide",
			"full"
		],
		...
	},
	...
}

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

1. Configure a block to have a specific alignment (i.e. 'full') by adding it as a default value in attributes.align in block.json;
2. Configure and create a PHP render template file in block.json;
3. Use get_block_wrapper_attributes() to output the classes in the wrapper div;
4. Add the block to the editor and leave the default alignment configured, save the editor;
5. Check the classes being output in the front-end, the configured alignment will not be in the list that's being returned by get_block_wrapper_attributes().

I got the same problem. Did you find a solution for that @warudin ?

I would love to see this prioritized for the WordPress 6.5 release. Several issues are related, and it may be worth aggregating into a parent task.

@ndiego @gziolo, do you have any insight on the priorities here, please?

I trapped on same situation as @warudin says. However, it may be fixed in upcoming release. In the meantime, I find out a temprary solution. My render.php is like

<div <?php echo get_block_wrapper_attributes( 
    array( 
        'class' => 'align' . $attributes['align']
    ) );  ?>>
<?php
echo $content;
?>
</div>

This is exactly the same issue that I run into. I use ACF to be able to use render.php files for rendering my HTML. My block.json contains this:
"attributes": {"align": { "type": "string", "default": "left" }, }

But when I use get_block_wrapper_attributes(), the class alignleft is not added to the classes by default.
I hope this issue is fixed soon. The workaround I have now is to use the filter render_block_data() and add these default settings by default from the .json file if they are not present. That works, but is not the best solution...
