I previously tested all my Mac browsers with Voiceover (FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), and I just tested Edge/Firefox/Chrome in Windows using Narrator/Jaws/NVDA. Adding the alert role functions identically to aria-live="assertive" (and thus works identically to Drupal.announce() set to assertive), so a role="alert" can be added to the element displaying the warning and it is accessible. Go ahead and change the role. It sounds like there were issues at some point with
role="alert"
when it was mentioned in that other issue in but as one would hope things improved in the decade that followed. - π¨π¦Canada mgifford Ottawa, Ontario
Looks like an error identification error handling issue to me https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/error-identification

@nlisgo ha! good point, I miss read/remembered what needed to be done here.
So the conclusion in #6 was that role='alert' is fine, I thought the next step was to add that, but we already add that, so we don't need to do anything here, I think. So closing this. Please feel free to reopen this is you think there is still work that needs to be done here

@Lendude. Thanks for the quick followup. I was scratching my head on what the obvious next step was. I agree with outcome.
