Jest-dom: Allow aria-invalid on any element?

[BurntCaramel]

Currently the toBeValid matcher whitelists what elements are allowed:
https://github.com/testing-library/jest-dom/blob/5c9e8e5a1a18e58c0bf8147baaf568259c3c2a13/src/to-be-invalid.js#L4

However, AFAIK the ARIA specification allows it on any element:

https://www.w3.org/TR/html-aria/#IDL-ValidityState

The aria-invalid attribute may be used on any HTML element that allows global aria-* attributes except for a submittable element that does not satisfy its validation constraints.

I propose removing the element tag check and allowing it on any element.

My specific issue is with a ol with role radiogroup that I am setting aria-invalid on.

Yes, I agree. The script element type check should be only when considering the element's checkValidity() return value. But when checking for the presence of aria-invalid any element is ok.

How would you check if it supports checkValidity() — 'checkValidity' in element?

I am happy to work on this!

The part that checks what .checkValidity() returns should only be used if the element's type is one of those listed in the FORM_TAGS array. If it's not one of those, the only check that should be tested is the one about the presence of aria-invalid.

I am happy to work on this!

Go for it! And thanks! Thanks a lot.

@BurntCaramel Did you have a chance to work on it? If you are a bit busy now I can take it, I've just come up with a possible solution.
