Project avatars do not include alternative text

XMLWordPrintable

      Issue Summary

      The Bitbucket Server web UI currently does not provide alternative text tags for project avatar images. Per WCAG requirements (see https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/images/decorative/), decorative images must provide at least an empty alternative text (alt="") or designate the element role as presentation.

       

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to https://<BITBUCKET_URL>/bitbucket/projects
      2. Right click > inspect on project's avatar image

      Expected Results

      The image's HTML includes an 'alt' attribute of null/blank

      Actual Results

      The image's HTML has no alt attribute:

      Notes

      This UI design defect results in preventing certain organizations from allowing any Bitbucket Server pages with project or repository listings to be public-facing - resulting in this defect impeding public-private partnerships, and participation by these organizations' development teams in the open-source community.

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
