 == Testing Instructions for [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/pull/6401 PR 6401]
 These steps define how to reproduce the issue, and indicate the expected
 behavior.

 === Steps to Reproduce/Test
 1. Navigate to `Plugins > Add New`.
 2. Search for `WooCommerce`.
 3. Click `Install Now`.
 4. 🐞 Click `Activate`.
 5. Navigate to `Plugins > Installed Plugins`.
 6. Deactivate WooCommerce.
 7. Apply [https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/pull/6401.diff the patch].
 8. Build core.
 9. Navigate to `Plugins > Add New`.
 10. Search for WooCommerce.
 11. Perform a hard refresh to ensure the cache is cleared.
 12. Click `Activate`.

 === Expected Results
 When reproducing a bug:
 - ❌ The `Activate` button should activate WooCommerce without refreshing
 the page, but doesn't inform the user of what they may need to do next.

 When testing a patch to validate it works as expected:
 - ✅ The `Activate` button should activate WooCommerce without refreshing
 the page, and a notice should appear to inform the user of what they may
 need to do next.

 === Additional testing option
 - Deactivate WooCommerce, then instead of clicking the `Activate` button
 in its plugin card, click its `More Details` link and click the `Activate`
 button inside the modal. The admin notice should appear on the screen
 behind the modal.
