Details

This PR updates axe-core to its latest version, 4.6.2, from 4.4.1.

Notable code changes beyond the simple version bump include:

  • link-in-text-block failures have been promoted from "needs review" to "automated checks" (removed from needs review with explicit code change, added to automated checks implicitly due to new axe-core tagging)
  • meta-viewport failures have been promoted from "unreported" to "automated checks" (implicitly due to new axe-core tagging)
  • WCAG mappings for a few rules have changed (we pull these automatically from axe-core's tags, so there is no corresponding code change)
  • Per discussion with PM, link-in-text-block incomplete results are staying unreported (not being promoted to "needs review")
  • frame-title-unique and no-autoplay-audio are explicitly disabled. They were promoted in axe-core from experimental/best-practice to "wcag-correspondant, but needs-review-only", but we want to omit them from our needs review checks pending further investigation
Motivation

See 1960423

Context
  • We are considering a separate PR to pull in a temporary version of the aria-required-children message improvements we've suggested upstream as axe-core#3842 (which would hopefully be removed later once we update to axe-core 4.7). Leaving that for a separate PR.
  • While testing this locally, I noticed an issue where the target page console would show an error during scans suggesting axe-core scans were being run multiple times concurrently. I also observed this is main without this PR - I don't think it's a regression and will be following up separately.

This is a no-op change, required because upstream axe.run typings became more strict in this update

…ard row (#6388)

#### Details

This PR implements a feature to add a new "Related paths" row to result
cards that represent axe-core results which included any check results
with `relatedNodes` properties.

It adds this information to:
* Cards in the fast pass automated checks and needs review results
* FastPass exported reports
* "axe results" style reports in the report package
* "combined" style reports in the report package (what we usually
consider as "service reports") - the service already sends enough
information for us to populate this

Screenshot of FastPass Automated Checks showing an
`aria-required-children` violation with Related paths:

between "Snippet" and "How to fix" rows, showing a list of targets
formatted similarly to the old "Path"

Screenshot of FastPass Report Export showing the same info:

Screenshot of FastPass Automated Checks' `color-contrast` results on a
page where `axe-core` only reports related paths for some results - note
that cards for results where the data is present show it, and results
where axe-core didn't report that data omit it.

##### Motivation

This is primarily to improve the actionability of the
`aria-required-children` "unknown" violation path which we added support
for during our 4.6.3 update in #6334. That path uses a how to fix
message of the form `"Element has children which are not allowed (see
related nodes)"`, which isn't very actionable without this PR since we
don't expose "related nodes" anywhere. This specific message might be
updated in a future version of axe-core (see
dequelabs/axe-core#3842)

This secondarily improves the actionability of a few other rules that
axe-core exposes related nodes for - particularly, `color-contrast`
violations where axe knows the node that is responsible for the
background color of a violation will now present that background node as
a "related path".

##### Context

In addition to this change, we'll want to make a docs change to
https://accessibilityinsights.io/info-examples/web/aria-required-children/
to make this specific form of `aria-required-children` violation easier
for a user to understand and take action on.

…lock, meta-viewport, and "Related paths" in reports (#2383)

#### Details

This PR:

* Updates `axe-core` to v4.6.3
* Updates `accessibility-insights-report` to corresponding v4.6.3
* Removes `link-in-text-block` and `meta-viewport` from the rule
exclusion list, matching the new AI4Web behavior enabling them as
automated checks
* Enables a new report feature to include "Related paths" for failure
cards of axe results with "relatedNodes" info by propogating this axe
property in `combined-report-data-converter.ts`
* Bumps the `accessibility-insights-scan` minor version to `1.6.0` in
anticipation of a corresponding release for that package
