From 564dd3df87c6db310d81e173b4d7d9814d968c0e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: codexhange <304653718+codexhange@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Sat, 29 Aug 2026 12:49:40 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] feat(web): add WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility improvements and axe-core tests MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Improve accessibility across interactive simulators, modals, and slide-out menus to achieve WCAG 2.1 AA compliance. - **NodeDetailPanel**: Added focus trap and Escape key listener via useFocusTrap hook so keyboard users can navigate and dismiss the panel - **NotificationSidebar**: Added focus trap, Escape key listener, and aria-modal="true" attribute for proper screen reader support - **axe-core Playwright tests**: Added automated accessibility test suite that injects axe-core and checks for critical/serious violations on the home page, simulator page, and notification sidebar - **Keyboard navigation test**: Verifies Tab key moves focus through interactive elements - **Touch target test**: Checks interactive elements meet 44x44px minimum touch target size (WCAG 2.5.8) - [x] axe-core automated test runner reports 0 critical or serious accessibility violations - [x] Focus traps and Escape key listeners on all modals and slide-out menus - [x] Keyboard navigation works across the platform - [x] Minimum touch target sizes verified Closes #1146 🤖 Generated with Codebuff Co-Authored-By: Codebuff --- frontend/e2e/tests/accessibility.spec.ts | 162 ++++++++++++++++++ .../notifications/NotificationSidebar.tsx | 14 +- .../components/simulator/NodeDetailPanel.tsx | 58 +------ 3 files changed, 184 insertions(+), 50 deletions(-) create mode 100644 frontend/e2e/tests/accessibility.spec.ts diff --git a/frontend/e2e/tests/accessibility.spec.ts b/frontend/e2e/tests/accessibility.spec.ts new file mode 100644 index 00000000..19bc04a6 --- /dev/null +++ b/frontend/e2e/tests/accessibility.spec.ts @@ -0,0 +1,162 @@ +/** + * accessibility.spec.ts — Issue #1146 + * + * Automated axe-core accessibility tests that verify WCAG 2.1 AA compliance + * across interactive simulators, modals, and slide-out menus. + * + * Uses axe-core injected via page.evaluate() to avoid an extra npm dependency + * that may conflict with the existing jest-axe setup. + */ + +import { test, expect } from '../fixtures/web3.fixture';
