Windows prevents the 1.15.0 install from running on my machine. It says the publisher is unknown. The 1.14.2 install works fine. 

Full message

Microsoft Defender SmartScreen prevented an unrecognized app from starting.

Hello Adam

We know this problem. I doubt the struggling with microsoft paranoid defender has matter at the moment so you can just ignore this warning.

Hi,

How to  handle Shadow Locators using Blazemeter UI functional testing? Can we get some insights on this.

First of all this question doesn't seem to be related to Taurus, maybe it worth considering raising it in BlazeMeter Forum instead?

Coming back to the question itself: you can try recording it using Blazemeter Chrome Extension, there is "Start Recording" button in BlazeMeter GUI functional test.

I quickly tried it against https://polymerlabs.github.io/wc-demos/ page and it seems to work without issues. 

Also you have "Script Eval" action which can execute arbitrary JavaScript so you could do something like: document.querySelector('your-selector-here').shadowRoot.querySelector('your-another-selector-here').click()
