Re: Problem with Firefox and WPT testing

Rich,

I am using WPT with local host configuration and the URL in the client address bar is also showing localhost:8000.   I seems to be working in Chrome with the ondocumentload event returning an accessible object with role=document, accName=page title and  accValue=url.   Firefox in the same configuration returns role=application, accName=page title and accValue=undefined.

Jon

Hi Jon,

I am guessing you are not getting a URL because you are using a local page. Alex can you confirm and can this be fixed? We are trying to complete automated aria testing. … If so, could you put in localhost: …?

Alex, is there a reason you are exposing a role of application for the web page itself? Is it coming from the Firefox application instead of the web page document?

There is a problem in with Firefox and WPT.

When WPT opens a client widow and cycles through the ARIA tests, Firefox’s on document load event object identifies the role as “application” instead of “document”  and the accessible value does not contain the URL for the test, which it does for other FF web pages.

The URL is needed by the ATTA to make sure the test cases matches up to the right results.

Joanie do you have this problem on OSX or Linux?

Is there someone we can talk to at Mozilla to see if they could make some changes or provide information on how to get the URL in this case?

Jon

P.S. Seems to be working fine with Chrome so far, the accessible object’s role is “document” and the accessible value is the URL of the test page.
