"Direct link rendered image" has no alt-text: A11y issue

[samjewell]

What happened:

sharing a panel via "Direct link rendered image" leads to an image with no alt-text. Seems to me we should try to put at least something in there, as we don't know how these images might get shared

What you expected to happen:

Image should have alt-text

This is an A11y issue:

From @ckbedwell :

the specific WCAG success criterion it fails to meet is SC 1.1.1 Non-text content

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):

On a panel:

• Kebab menu
  • Share

Then:

• Direct link rendered image

Generated page is an image with no alt-text

Anything else we need to know?:

No

Environment:

• Grafana Image Renderer version:
• Grafana version: Hosted Grafana
• Installed plugin or remote renderer service:
• OS Grafana Image Renderer is installed on:
• User OS & Browser: Mac OS, Chrome
• Others:

Hello! I think this should be fixed in Grafana itself. Could you open an issue there please?

@AgnesToulet I've recreated the issue here:
grafana/grafana#75357

Could you check the tags please, to see that it gets triaged correctly? Thanks 🙏

Thanks! I added it to our board, we'll look into prioritizing this.
