False positive for captioned <video> without <track>

Thanks for your issue @jasonkiss. It does look like Youtube captions are added in a random DIV element, a la:

<div class="caption-window ytp-caption-window-bottom ytp-caption-window-rollup"
id="caption-window-1" dir="ltr" tabindex="0" aria-live="assertive" lang="en" 
draggable="true" data-layer="5" 
style="touch-action: none; text-align: left; left: 60.8369%; width: 508px; height: 38px; margin-left: -254px; bottom: 12.207%;">
<span class="captions-text"></span></div>

The <track> element would be a more standards-focused application, but IMO captions used in this manner or embedded in a video are just as usable by people. Perhaps we should move this to a Best Practice rule instead @dylanb @WilcoFiers? Since there aren't reliable ways to check for custom caption DIVs or captions embedded in videos.

WFM.

I wonder if there's a similar issue with audio description and the aXe rule for that?

[dylanb]

Our plan is to move these rules to the "needs review" category once that lands in the aXe extensions

[marcysutton]

Oh yes. That will be perfect!

I can confirm that the audio element also generates the same result for a missing track tag.

This has been fixed internally, and will be in our next release.

Fixed with 30be884 . Stay tuned for a release of axe-core 2.2.0
