Default parameters get transformed out of the function arguments after babel, which meant that only elm
was left in the argument list for memoize, so options
and spec
were ignored.

With memoize this style of define would propagate to all tests and cause issues. Since DqElement
takes the spec as truth, just passed the functions in as the spec.
These tests failed while in-development of #4452 and it really confused me. Based on how the title is written, I initially thought that it was making sure that `.selector` (etc.) for the DqElement prototype function was never called. But what it's really making sure is that the `.selector` (etc.) property is not called for the one node. The reason that distinction matters is because `processAggregate` calls `nodeSerializer` which in turn calls the `toJSON` method of a DqElement, which calls the `.selector` (etc.) property. So it would be impossible to never call the DqElement properties.

Can you add a test showing that when you instantiate a DqElm for the second time you get the same object back?
Noticed this when trying to debug perf issues in
duplicate-id-aria
. We've run into problems on sites that have a module repeat 1000s of times on the page and the module has an aria id that is also then repeated. Axe-core would take a really long time to run the rule. Looking into it what I discovered is that a majority of the time was spent on resolving therelatedNodes
for each check. Since each each duplicate id node was also in therelatedNodes
for every other node, this caused the single node to be converted to a DqElement n times. This lead to many performance problems, but specifically calling thegetSelector
of a DqElement would callouterHTML
for the node n*2 times which would be very slow.To solve this I decided to memoize the DqElement creation. That way a single node will only ever output a single DqElement, thus saving significant time in creation. Not only that but every time a node appears in a result (either as the check node or a related node) the memory is now shared so this change also reduces the in-memory size of the results object.
Testing a simple page with 5000 nodes of duplicate id, here are the results for running the
duplicate-id-aria
check.Flamechart before the change. The majority of the time is spent in getSelector
Chrome performance timer of getSelector showing it spent 12000ms total in the function
Flamechart after the change. Time is now spent mostly resolving the cache which results in no time spent in getSelector
