What

Trac ticket: #65819

Replaces generic assertInstanceOf( 'WP_Error', … ) assertions in tests/phpunit/tests/rest-api/rest-users-controller.php with WordPress’s dedicated assertWPError() assertion.

Retains the existing error code checks.

Test-only change.

Why

Dedicated assertion methods improve failure reporting by including the WP_Error code and message automatically.

How

  • Swap four assertInstanceOf( 'WP_Error', … ) calls for assertWPError() in user update validation coverage

Testing instructions

npm run test:php -- --filter WP_Test_REST_Users_Controller

Reviewed with the unit-tests audit: the inherited assertWPError() helper delegates to the same type assertion, preserving the existing error-code checks and custom messages.

The affected class passed in three randomized single-site and three randomized multisite runs (seeds 14557, 14561, and 14568); every changed test executed. PHPCS passed, CI is green, and Copilot reviewed this head without findings.
