Add reproduction example for issue #8646 - userEvent.upload timeout with low semantic specificity

[Copilot]

Issue #8646 reports userEvent.upload() timing out on file inputs. Root cause: Chromium 136+ (Playwright 1.52.0+) no longer exposes <input type="file"> as "textbox" in the accessibility tree. When elements lack semantic specificity (no id, label, or testid), vitest/browser generates generic selectors that fail to match.

Changes

• Added examples/issue8646/ - Complete reproduction demonstrating the issue and three working solutions:

  • Add id attribute
  • Associate with <label> element
  • Add data-testid attribute

• Documentation - Comprehensive README clarifying this is user error (not following accessibility best practices), not a vitest/ivya bug

Example

// ❌ Fails - no semantic specificity
const input = document.createElement('input')
input.type = 'file'
document.body.appendChild(input)
await userEvent.upload(input, file)  // Times out in Chromium 136+

// ✅ Works - has id attribute
const input = document.createElement('input')
input.type = 'file'
input.id = 'file-upload'
document.body.appendChild(input)
await userEvent.upload(input, file)  // Works

All 5 tests pass, confirming solutions are valid.

Warning

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:

• esm.ubuntu.com

If you need me to access, download, or install something from one of these locations, you can either:

• Configure Actions setup steps to set up my environment, which run before the firewall is enabled
• Add the appropriate URLs or hosts to the custom allowlist in this repository's Copilot coding agent settings (admins only)

Oh, I might have misunderstood. I thought this is a user error or chrome side issue. Is it meant to be fixed on https://github.com/sheremet-va/ivya?
