@ryanflorence Unfortunately it's more complicated than that when you consider that Menu is used incorrectly too often. I've found very few cases where the menu role was necessary. Usually it would be better if coded as a list of links using the disclosure pattern: adrianroselli.com/2017/10/dont-u…

@abinoda It might be worth considering how experience can help build skills that are arguably more important when it comes to working in a team environment: communicating effectively, considering tradeoffs, ability to break down a problem into smaller parts and deliver iteratively, etc.

@abinoda I think there is a lot more to being a good software engineer besides being able to comprehend code quickly and it looks like that is how they are defining efficacy?

@ryanflorence I would try to implement this as a disclosure widget, so no focus trap or moving focus, but the portal makes it more complicated as you said. I think you would need to make the content between the button and the popover inert with aria-hidden and tabindex.

PSA: ARIA practices is NOT a spec! Don’t just copy it blindly - actually test your code across different assistive technologies and devices. ARIA practices are just examples assuming perfect support, and aren’t tested on mobile. Alternate approaches or workarounds may be needed.

@ryanflorence Thank you @ryanflorence. There is so much misinformation out there about this.

@threepointone I think wait retries whenever there is a DOM mutation, so it's not as bad as just setting an arbitrary timeout.

@threepointone Why wouldn't you use something more like the wait utility in dom-testing-library here so that your tests are not so tied to implementation details?
