Shadow DOM Piercing

Modern web applications frequently use Web Components to encapsulate styling and logic. These components hide their HTML inside a #shadow-root.

Standard selectors like document.querySelector or top-level Playwright locators will not find elements inside a Shadow DOM. Your automation tool must support piercing the shadow root.

TARGET OBJECTIVE:

  • Locate the input field hidden inside the <auto-lab-component>
  • Type exactly let-me-in
  • Click the "VALIDATE & EXECUTE" button also inside the shadow boundary
