Lighthouse shows invalid ARIA role error for role="group"

[dilipbheda]

I've found the Accessibility role error in the admin bar.
Ref: ​https://tinyurl.com/2cp6mj4c

As per the ARIA docs suggestion, we can fix it by adding a none role in the li tag.

The test in Lighthouse is incorrect; the group role is permitted on list items as long as the parent list does *not* have the list role. The parent node in this case is a ul with role="menu", so it is correct.

This is correct per ​the HTML ARIA specifications for `li`.

Recommend closing.

Closing as invalid following discussion in the accessibility bug scrub.

I recently face this, but as read above mentioned. Now How to fix this? Is this forum closed?

You're welcome to make comments if you believe that this is a problem that needs to be addressed. However, we're not going to remove existing semantics just because some testing tools incorrectly register this as an error.
