This looks good to me!
I confirmed the following items:
- The
aria-disabledattribute is no longer added to theusa-file-inputparent element - There was no negative impact on the VoiceOver readout. It still reads the label and stated that the input was dimmed. (This is unchanged from the experience in VO for
develop)
@amycole501 I am going to add you to the review so you can confirm that the JAWS readout follows best practices. I will hold off on approval until I hear your findings.

@amyleadem can you follow up with @amycole501 on this? |

Tested in JAWS; label was read accurately. Button action reads "No file selected, button unavailable." |

File Input (Disabled) →
Problem statement
Currently, when File Input is initialized, the
aria-disabledattribute is added to the parent element. This causes the label to no longer be read by screen readers, which goes against best practices for screen readers.Solution
Remove JS which sets this attribute. Now the File Input is still read as disabled, but the label is also ready by screenreaders
