How to fix 'Static HTML elements with event handlers require a role.'?
you need to add a role props in your a tag to avoid this warning, for example a button
<a role = "button" styling="link" onClick={() => this.gotoLink()}>
<SomeComponent />
</a>
I guess it is because the HREF props is missing in your anchor tag (not sure)
In my case, I used aria-hidden="true"
, then I was able to commit.
Before:
<i className="pwdicon" onClick={togglePasswordVisiblity} >
After I updated with aria-hidden:
<i className="pwdicon" onClick={togglePasswordVisiblity} aria-hidden="true" >
My problem was resolved.

The earlier answers do give specific examples, what I was missing is a list of roles
.
If someone is looking for other roles, a partial list is listed here.
An example of a missing role
is tab
which I needed.
You need to set the role explicitly. So, try the next code:
<a role="button" styling="link" onClick={this.gotoLink}>
<SomeComponent />
</a>
Also, as you can see I've modified the onClick
handler by replacing arrow function on regular declaration. It would reduce annoying and expensive calculations.
