this is probably useful. It looks like accessing elements is possible via shadowRoot
is possible as long as it is "open".
If it is "closed" then we might try to circumvent it.
Some websites use shady dom or shadow doms to hide or declutter the dom, this means that the usual traversal doesn't work. Is there a workaround for this for extracting the element layout?
Sites like youtube do this, it results in null being returned from
extractLayoutTree
(webuicapture\extension\chrome\content.js). See if this can be fixed, or if we will have to discard these sites (its a shame because popular sites like youtube use it!)EDIT - actually, the problem with youtube was not due to shadow dom (it was an issue with computing visibility, which is not fixed by using
checkVisibility
from the Element API. However, we may still face this issue in the future so I will leave this open.
