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.
