get_field() is empty in WP_Query inside Gutenberg block

Hi,

I have a WordPress template based on Sage which is using the new ACF blocks feature and Blade templates. Everything is working just fine.

I have a Gutenberg block that pulls some posts with WP_Query then loops through them this way:

$projects = new WP_Query(…);

while ($projects->have_posts()): $projects->the_post();
    the_title(); // works
    the_ID() // works
    the_field('location') // does not work
    the_field('location', get_the_ID()); // works
endwhile;

wp_reset_query();

Do you have any idea why the_field() fails without passing an ID even though the_post seems to be set up properly (because the_ID() works correctly)?

Thanks in advance,
Mary

I can’t explain, but I am using Sage + ACF Blocks and this helped, thanks @marijan !
