Hi, i’m trying to get DOM properties (like parentclass, tag, class name, id, attribute etc). But can’t able to get shadowRoot properties using Get Attribute activities. Is there any approach to get this?

Hi Ganesh,

Do you solved this problem?
I meet the same problem.

Hi @vincent.li,

Yes, i found a solution by writing JS code. By using Inject JS Script activity in UiPath I return the ShadowRoot value form browser.

Cheers!

Cool, js can get the shadow root, but how to continue RPA with this shadow root? all the click and type activities need to indicate to the web. I try to use this shadow root as a element, but it’s not working well.

OHH…I thought its getting data from browser. I’m not sure about click and type into selector. Will check.

Hey, did you get any solution for this problem

I hope everyone knows about Shadow Root and It would not generate any DOM, so obviously UiSelector also would not generate any selectors for that element.

  1. Open UiPath UiExplorer

  2. Click UI Frameworks

  3. Click Active Accessibility

  4. Click Indicate Screen and navigate where you want, now you can access all the elements as you do before.

  5. The generated selectors will look like desktop selectors, you will not get any web selector but it will work as we expect and you can modify the attribute. PFB screenshot for reference.
