With #9873, created by @dakahn to address #9630, an aria-describedby has been added to the TextInput generated DOM, set to the id of a helper text DIV. However, the helper text DIV is only generated if the helperText prop has been set. This means that when the helperText prop is NOT set the generated DOM includes an aria-describedby which contains an id that doesn't exist.
When aria-describedby contains an id that doesn't exist, this is an error, and causes accessibility testing tools to report violations whenever TextInput components without helperText set are used. For example, accessibility-checker v3.1.11 reports violations as follows:
The above example is from the ExportModal test suite of @carbon/ibm-cloud-cognitive. This test has been temporarily skipped in order to allow us to continue work until this issue is fixed.
