Is this a false positive for ARIA [role = "doc-endnotes"]?

[andreseduardop]

Lighthouse encounters the following Accessibility error:
"Elements with an ARIA [role] that require children to contain a specific [role] are missing some or all of those required children."
On the page: https://lectupedia.com/en/number-of-books-read-in-each-country/

However, the page contains a <section> with role="doc-endnotes" and several children of type <li> with role="doc-endnote"

I am noticing this with the Axe extension as well so we should move this issue to https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core. I think dequelabs/axe-core#2759 captures a similar bug.

Interestingly, I came across this which says the violation should be ignored.

Thanks, @adamraine

I'm unsure why this was closed – the issue does not seem to be solved – although I understand it's a problem with a dependency. At the moment Lighthouse will complain if you pass it the example copied directly from the W3C spec:

<section role="doc-endnotes">
   <h2>Notes</h2>
   <ol>
      <li id="6baa07af" role="doc-endnote">Additional results of this study can be found at … </li>
      <li id="7b2c0555" role="doc-endnote">…</li>
      …
   </ol>
</section>

The docs linked to the error reference version 1.1 of the ARIA specification which states:

The doc-endnote and doc-bilbioentry roles are being deprecated due to their incompatibility with the core ARIA inheritance model for roles (i.e., ARIA’s list role cannot be satisfied by list item roles in a module)

Does Lighthouse adhere to the 1.1 spec?

Looks like the issue will be closed in axe-core 4.4. We will need to bump our dep when that is released.

@adamraine Axe 4.4.1 has been released, and deprecates doc-endnote.
