Is there an automatic scanner that reports problems like Google’s Lighthouse?
- extra88 4y agoMost accessibility problems require human review to identify. Google Lighthouse uses a subset of the checks included in axe-core. axe-core is a good resource for adding accessibility checks to e2e testing. The WAVE extension already mentioned is good for getting feedback about a page in the browser, the axe DeveTools extension is also good, the paid version can guide more manuals checks, simplifying the process.
- krono 4y agoIt's a good thing you're looking for an automated solution, because with that attitude you're not going to find any accessibility problems on your own :P https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/ https://www.w3.org/WAI/ER/tools/

- darekkay 4y agoI wrote Evaluatory [1] for this, which started mainly as an axe-core wrapper (which is what Lighthouse uses as well) with a visual results page. Now it contains more tools and checks as well. [1] https://darekkay.com/evaluatory/ https://darekkay.com/evaluatory/
- thelittleone 4y agoLooks like a fit for a project I have. Is there a simple way to configure for authenticated pages?
- darekkay 4y agoBasic Auth should work out-of-the-box, though I haven't tested it. If you need any advanced authentication, Playwright [0] - which I use for fetching the pages - shoud have you covered. You can pass any custom playwright options via `playwrightOptions` in the Evaluatory config file. [0] https://playwright.dev/ https://playwright.dev/
