1854520 - Temporarily disable one Tier 2 a11y_checks for Core: Layout Engine

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout, task, P3)

Description

[Anna Yeddi [:ayeddi]]

We are working on enabling Tier 2 a11y-checks to ensure our products have basic accessibility built-in (bug 1692110) and before that, we need to prepare the existing code base. While we triage and investigate existent tests that would fail once the a11y-checks are enabled in the CI, we are going to skip the failing tests altogether and then handle each one of them individually.

This task is to skip with fail-if condition of the failing test while we continue investigation into the reasons this test failed and to be able to backtrack this test once they're resolved. A separate task to investigate the failed Tier 2 a11y_checks will be filed for an appropriate component.

Test affected:

FAIL	layout/base/tests/browser_bug1701027-1.js	Node is not accessible via accessibility API	fd	DIV

Jobs affected:

1. test-linux1804-64-qr/opt-mochitest-browser-chrome-swr-a11y-checks-${1-7} (Try run)

---

Some Tier 2 accessibility checks for click events fired on controls that should be keyboard accessible and have valid labels were failing for this component. They were captured by testing/mochitest/tests/SimpleTest/AccessibilityUtils.js via bug 1692110. These failing tests should be temporarily skipped in the directory's browser.ini file while we investigate these failures. For all confirmed bugs individual defects should be filed.

When the test failure is resolved and its associated bug is closed, remove the fail-if condition for a11y_checks from the appropriate file/section to ensure better test coverage and to avoid regressions in a11y of this component.
