Error while testing on alert statement

Open Alex-Jongman opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Product: cli

Expectation: Give a meaningful error message about the code under test

Actual: running the axe cli on a simple page containing a javascript alert statement only the error: An error occurred while testing this page. is shown, not that the error was caused by the alert statement.

Motivation: One now can think its an error of axe itself and not an error caused by the code to be tested.


axe-core version: 4.4.1
@axe-core/[integration]: X.Y.Z

- Node version: v16.13.1
- Platform:  Windows
