Potential A11y Violation:
Missing main element

Point of Failure

Every page should have a main landmark element.

Available Automation Evaluation

In checking known available linting and testing tools, these are our findings.

Linting Cannot Exist

We would need a way to identify that a specific template was a page-level template vs a component template.

Testing Exists

See the axe-core library for the page-has-main rule.

Other Test Methods

In addition to automated tests, there are other types of tests that could be conducted to prevent this potential violation.

Developer Authored Test Could Exist

Developers should make sure that their code does not violate this rule, and try to write a test that would prevent a regression in accessibility if the code is later changed.

Manual Test Exists

Review page and ensure the point of failure does not exist, inspecting the DOM where required.
