/setblock shows success message despite failing when setting soul fire on top of an invalid block

The Bug

If you set the block that is on top of a block that cannot produce soul fire if you use a flint and steel on it (i.e. Netherrack) to soul fire, it will still say that the block is changed even though nothing happens

Steps to Reproduce

  • Stand on top of a block that soul fire cannot exist on.
  • Summon some soul fire above the block you're standing on.
    /setblock ~ ~ ~ minecraft:soul_fire
    
  • Take note as to whether or not using the "/setblock" command to summon soul fire on top of invalid blocks, prints a success message despite the operation failing.

Observed Behavior

Using the "/setblock" command to summon soul fire on top of invalid blocks, prints a success message despite the operation failing.

Expected Behavior

Using the "/setblock" command to summon soul fire on top of invalid blocks, would print an error message.
