I'm trying to access the "solver-button." So I looked into shadow roots, and it appears I have to open it. I tried doing this by getting the xpath of the "help-button-holder," which didn't work? It just returns it as null, and I'm not sure why as I've accessed other things the same way earlier in the script? I just need to click on "solver-button," I'm really not sure why it isn't working. I've tried,

driver.find_element_by_css_selector('.button-holder.help-button-holder'),  
driver.find_element_by_css_selector('help-button-holder'),   
driver.find_element_by_class_name('solver-button')

etc,

It feels like there are no other solutions as none of them work. Any help is appreciated.

  • I know, thats why I was trying to open it. However, when I try to access the "help-button-holder," it returns THAT as null. Commented Aug 2, 2021 at 2:21
  • well you can't open/access the closed Shadow-DOM as much I know- It's like an encapsulation Commented Aug 2, 2021 at 2:22
  • I watched a tutorial on it. I just have to access the thing above it first, which I can't do because for whatever reason trying to find it by class name, xpath, etc doesn't work. Commented Aug 2, 2021 at 2:24
