Julien suggested I mention it on the list so here it is.
If you are writing or maintaining Gij tests, you can now enable various
accessibility checks that are now built in into marionette. You do not actually
need to write anything specific to test for accessibility as the checks run
during normal flow of actions and events.
For example, whenever you tests clicks or taps on an element marionette will
also check if an accessibility (screen reader) user can do that as well.
Whenever your test checks if something is enabled or visible, marionette will
check if this is also true for a screen reader user. It also does some nice
things in terms of checking for keyboard focusability, obstruction with
pointer-events: none, labelling and naming, etc.
There are 2 implications:
If you are writing new marionette JavaScript tests, please try to enable
accessibility checks by default, see [1] as an example.
You can also try enabling accessibility checks for your existing test howeverm
if something in the app that the test checks is not accessible (for example an
icon button has no label, or something is hidden off screen, but actually
visible to the screen reader), you will see your tests failing. Example from
[1] also applies.
Note: I ran most of the tests with the a11y checks in place already and enabled
most of the ones that reliably pass. This means that if some tests do not yet
have them enabled, they are likely failing.
Cheers,
Yura
