Meters have an accessible name

Checks that elements with role="meter" expose a non-empty accessible name.

Applies to. Applies to elements carrying role="meter" (the attribute must name that role alone, not a fallback list) that are included in the accessibility tree. An element with the matching implicit role but no role attribute is out of scope.

Expectation. The element has a non-empty accessible name from aria-label, from an aria-labelledby that resolves to non-empty text, or from title. role="meter" is name-from-author-only, so subtree text is never accepted: text sitting inside a custom meter widget is not reliably exposed as its name.

Examples

<div role="meter" aria-valuenow="80" aria-label="Disk usage"></div>

<div role="meter" aria-valuenow="80"></div>
