Pa11y Actions GitHub

pa11y-actions-github.js

// An example of executing some actions before Pa11y runs.
// This example logs in to GitHub and runs tests on the
// user dashboard page. Note: this won't work if you have
// two-factor auth enabled.
'use strict';

var pa11y = require('../..');

// Create a test instance with some default options
var test = pa11y({

	// Log what's happening to the console
	log: {
		debug: console.log.bind(console),
		error: console.error.bind(console),
		info: console.log.bind(console)
	},

	// Run some actions before the tests
	actions: [
		'click element .site-header-menu a[href=/login]',
		'wait for url to be https://github.com/login',
		'set field #login_field to <YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>',
		'set field #password to <YOUR-GITHUB-PASSWORD>',
		'click element input[type=submit]',
		'wait for url to be https://github.com/'
	]

});

// Test http://example.com/
test.run('https://github.com/', function(error, result) {
	if (error) {
		return console.error(error.message);
	}
	console.log(result);
});

This was written for a very old version of Pa11y and is no longer correct. How did you find it? I’d refer to the official Pa11y documentation to work out how to use actions

I've been looking for documentation for pa11y for node but I can't find much.

I have actions running now, but I can't find a reference for what is possible with them. All examples use #username which would suggest an id="" attribute. What about class="" or name="" ? I've tried using .classname but that does not seem to work or leaving the # absent.
