unpublish content option does not work

Might be the same reasons as for 🐛 User associated contents are deleted Fixed ? Does this still happen?

It looks like unpublication is simply not implemented:

      case 'user_cancel_block':
      case 'user_cancel_block_unpublish':
        if ($user->isBlocked()) {
          // The user is already blocked. Do not block them again.
          return;
        }
        $this->notifyUserToPurge($user);
        $user->block();
        $user->save();
        $this->messenger->addStatus($this->t('%name has been disabled.', ['%name' => $user->getDisplayName()]));
        $logger->notice('Blocked user: %name %email.', [
          '%name' => $user->getAccountName(),
          '%email' => '<' . $user->getEmail() . '>',
        ]);
        break;

Is this still a desired feature?

Ok, it's done here when we call the user_cancel hook:

    // When the 'user_cancel_delete' method is used, user_delete() is called,
    // which invokes hook_ENTITY_TYPE_predelete() and hook_ENTITY_TYPE_delete()
    // for the user entity. Modules should use those hooks to respond to the
    // account deletion.
    if ($method != 'user_cancel_delete') {
      // Allow modules to add further sets to this batch.
      /* @see \user_cancel() */
      $this->moduleHandler->invokeAll('user_cancel', [$edit, $user, $method]);
    }

And then the Node module unpublishes the contents here:

  #[Hook('user_cancel')]
  public function userCancelBlockUnpublish($edit, UserInterface $account, $method): void {
    if ($method === 'user_cancel_block_unpublish') {
      $nids = $this->nodeStorage->getQuery()
        ->accessCheck(FALSE)
        ->condition('uid', $account->id())
        ->execute();
      $this->moduleHandler->invoke('node', 'mass_update', [$nids, ['status' => 0], NULL, TRUE]);
    }
  }

Closing this issue.

Actually a functional test covers the unpublication feature. So it's definitely working now.
