ARIA progressbar nodes must have an accessible name
What is the problem?
The aria-progressbar-name rule ensures that every element with the role="progressbar" attribute has an accessible name.
Impacted Groups
Why is this important?
Screen reader users rely on accessible names to understand the purpose and current state of progress bars. Without a name, they may be unable to determine what the progress bar represents or how far along it is.
How to solve this issue
To fix this, provide an accessible name for the progress bar using the aria-label or aria-labelledby attribute. This will help screen reader users understand the context of the progress bar and follow its progress.
