Definition:
Shadow DOM is a web standard that creates hidden, encapsulated DOM trees, preventing styles and content from being accessed or modified by external scripts, which can complicate web scraping efforts.
Description:
This command allows you to target and interact with an element even if it is hidden/contained within a Shadow DOM which usually makes that element not accessible to automation tools. With this command you will be able to Get/Read, Insert/Write, Click or Double Click that element and keep your automation flow going.
Note: This functionality is only supported when the Shadow DOM is in “open” mode.If the Shadow DOM is in “closed” mode, it will not be accessible to external automation tools or scripts due to the strict encapsulation of the DOM’s structure.
