1489490 - Returning shadowRoot of an element in execute script causes a "cyclic object value" failure

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect, P3)

Description

[steffen.harbich]

Attachment: selenium-starter-master.zip

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0
Build ID: 20180830143136

Steps to reproduce:

With Selenium for Java execute script "return arguments[0].shadowRoot" on a Vaadin Flow application (uses shadow DOM polyfill). Please execute my attached gradle project via "./gradlew test". It opens "https://bakery-flow.demo.vaadin.com/login" and tries to get the "shadowRoot" of the Vaadin text field with id "username". Tested with FF 62, geckodriver v0.21.0-win64, Selenium 3.14.0.

The issue https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1447977 might be related.


Actual results:

An error occurs when running the line

WebElement shadow = (WebElement) ((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("return arguments[0].shadowRoot", element);

Error:

Expected results:

The WebElement "shadowRoot" should be returned without errors.

Please note that shadowRoot is not covered by the WebDriver spec yet. As such it will take a bit of time until level 2 of the spec has been discussed. See https://github.com/w3c/webdriver/issues/350 for the ShadowRoot support in general.

Comment 2

[steffen.harbich]

Ok. However, as far as I know shadow DOM is not supported in FF 62 and therefor polyfilled by Vaadin Flow. So I would guess that it should be possible to retrieve that attribute "shadowRoot" as WebElement with no special meaning to FF?

[Henrik Skupin [:whimboo][⌚️UTC+2]]

For details please see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Web_Components/Using_shadow_DOM, and I missed that you were using Firefox 62. So, please test again with Firefox 63 which is currently on beta.

Comment 4

[steffen.harbich]

FF 63 is out now and I tested it again, still producing the same problem (see below), even with latest Selenium and gecko drivers. Can you please have a look into it?

Returning the shadowRoot is not supported in WebDriver.

I am facing the same issue on FF 65. Please let me know if there is a solution.

Comment 9

We have the same error with RobotFramework and SeleniumLibrary, we can qualified our products on Chrome but not on Firefox.
OS: Linux x64
GeckoDriver: 0.26.0
Firefox: 77.0.1

This works as expected now in Firefox Nightly and should also do in the upcoming Firefox 96 beta since the patch from bug 1700073 has been landed. Here the excerpt of the trace log for the test case as mentioned in comment 0::

Note that geckodriver support for this will ship in the upcoming 0.31.0 release.
