Support for Multi Level Shadow DOM Elements in Selenium

[Sushma J]

Hello everyone, 

I have been using Selenium for automating test cases in java. Currently, we are trying to automate testcases for a website which uses multi-level shadow dom elements with nesting and the regular Xpath commands  do not work . Instead I am using JavaScriptExecutor for accessing the shadow DOM elements. But it becomes very difficult to manage because if any of the shadow-roots in the chain is removed, the code has to be modified. Can you let me know if there's any support from Selenium in the new version Selenium 4 for the same or will any support be provided in future release versions?

Thanks in advance!

Check third  party projects e.g. https://github.com/sergueik/shadow-automation-selenium

that returns  the shadow element resultsas regular elements e.g.:

```

 Shadow shadow = new Shadow(driver);

        WebElement element = shadow.findElement("paper-tab[title='Settings']")

```
