In my vue component I have a fieldset marked with the radiogroup role:

    <fieldset
        role="radiogroup"
        :aria-required="props.required"
        :aria-invalid="validation?.type === 'error'"
        :aria-errormessage="`${id}-errormessage`"
    >

This triggers a warning of type: Non-interactive elements should not be assigned interactive roles. (Web:S6842)

I believe this to be a false positive.

First, https://w3c.github.io/html-aria/#docconformance explicitly mentions radiogroup to be one of the few allowed roles of a fieldset.

https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/ARIA17 also has several examples of using “radiogroup” on a non-interactive element.

Another example can be found in ARIA: radiogroup role - Accessibility | MDN .

The idea of a radiogroup is to group several radio items from which only one can be selected. Making the radiogroup interactive is not necessary for that.
