@Bethannfrum What do you mean by "Fix and restore it to the original format and release old documents"?

[cnhe]

Any progress on this PR? Would be extremely helpful for me to have

[azorrozua]

Also waiting for native Shadow Root locators

[BorntraegerMarc]

@firstor are you still working on this? :)

[alexzavg]

any update?)

[gmazlami]

Would love to see this added to protractor as soon as possible :)

[WizardPC]

Any update ? I use a graphic lib and i want to check if updating it doesn't break to much things...

[DanielRuf]

Bump. I can patch protractor using patch-package but would be great to see this in the next releases.

Also the docs are not correct as they say that deepCss supports Shadow DOM which does not seem to be correct?

Find an element by css selector within the Shadow DOM.

Here is a patch generated with patch-package for protractor 5.4.3 (protractor+5.4.3.patch):

Waiting for the fix

What's the ETA on this? Really struggling with Shadow DOM compatibility

[ohlori]

Any updates on this??
