Fix NoSuchShadowRootException
in Selenium
✅ Solution
NoSuchShadowRootException generally arises when Selenium tries to access a shadow root that doesn't exist or hasn't loaded yet, or when the shadow root is nested and the access path is incorrect. To fix it, ensure the target element actually possesses a shadow root using browser developer tools, and then use JavascriptExecutor to properly access the shadow root(s) before interacting with elements within them, accounting for potential nesting. You might need to implement explicit waits to allow shadow roots to fully render before trying to access them.
