Description

ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) is a set of standards for adding accessible information to page elements. ARIA has a known list of valid values for the role attribute but we detected an unrecognized role value. Check for spelling mistakes or remove the invalid role value. View a full list of valid ARIA role definitions here: https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#role_definitions.

How to fix

Use only official, standard ARIA attributes. Refer to the W3C's full list of ARIA roles here: (https://www.w3.org/TR/wai-aria-1.1/#role_definitions). Check that all role names are spelled correctly and match a known, official role.
