Description

A few days ago I started to receive violations from our accessibility tests. The code for the markup has not changed so I am not sure why I all of a sudden started to receive these errors.

I was using version 0.12.2.

Here is a screenshot of the errors I am now receiving:-

I can fix the 2 HTML elements so that they are in more appropriate places in the markup.
But the tags (which have never sat inside any landmark HTML tag), do not seem to be able to be ignored..

So I have 2 questions.

  1. Was there some update a few days ago that might have introduced these new failures for me?
  2. Is there any way to ignore the tags (Akamai Edge side includes)?

Thanks
David

Research direction

Reproduce the reported accessibility-test violations with cypress-axe 0.12.2; the issue provides only a screenshot and no file or test path. Done means identifying whether an update caused the landmark failures and determining whether ESI tags can be ignored, or documenting that no such option exists.
