Clarify arguments to axe.run() #178
Description
Activity
I was also searching for the same and at last found out that you can set them the same way, how they are set in the js like
axe = Axe(driver) # Inject axe-core javascript into page. axe.inject() # Run axe accessibility checks. results = axe.run(options={ "runOnly": { "type": 'rule', "values": ['area-alt', 'aria-allowed-attr','color-contrast', 'valid-lang'] } }) # Assert no violations are found assert len(results["violations"]) == 0, axe.report(results["violations"])This object can be anything like the examples mentioned #here
Looking at the code, it seems that
axe.run()takes arguments as strings representing Javascript objects:https://github.com/mozilla-services/axe-selenium-python/blob/270c8cd5aed76e31d8c9086e397a487126425026/axe_selenium_python/axe.py#L36-L52
This is a surprising interface for a Python object, and I can't find it documented anywhere, or exercised in the unit test. What is the correct way of specifying Axe the following options?
{"runOnly": {"type": "tag", "value": ["wcaga2a"]}}Maybe you need:
json.dumps()themor maybe I'm reading all wrong?
