 {{{#!php
 <?php
 // Include admin function to get access to
 wp_generate_attachment_metadata().
 require_once ABSPATH . 'wp-admin/includes/media.php';
 }}}

 **wp_generate_attachment_metadata()** is actually located in 'wp-
 admin/includes/image.php'
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/5.3/src/wp-
 admin/includes/image.php#L458]

 This isn't breaking because the correct file is being required_once before
 by ('insert_attachment') another method in the same class but this should
 be corrected.
