@JKODU , I am seeing the voilations instead incomplete for this new rule, identical-links-same-purpose. used test file specified in the https://github.com/dequelabs/axe-core/blob/develop/test/integration/rules/identical-links-same-purpose/identical-links-same-purpose.html

suspecting whether the changes in the axe version updated properly or not.

Working for axe-core's axe.run(), will verify the same with axe and attest extensions once axe-core3.5 deployed in devTools.
