Hi Steve Bisio 

To clarify, does Silk4J highlight the objects in question when recording locators?

If not, can you check if the objects are contained in the Shadow DOM? If so, this would explain why the objects are not recorded as Silk4J does not support objects in the Shadow DOM.

Hi Robert, 

Silk4J does not highlight the objects in question. 

I'm not sure how to check the objects in the Shadow DOM.

Hi Steve Bisio 

You will need to inspect your web application using the Browser Developer Tools and check if the element (or it's ancestors) are a child of a "#shadow-root (open)" element. For example:

Hi Robert, 

Using DevTools I don't see any elements that have the form "#shadow-root" tags. I searched all of the ancestors for this dropdown element. None of the ancestors have the "#shadow-root" form.

Hi Steve,

What version of Silk4J are you using?

Are the problematic elements in an IFRAME? If so, are all elements of the iframe not recorded?

I have encountered some web applications where the child elements of an IFRAME are not enumerated when recording with Silk4J due to a timing issue. This can generally be worked around by opening the Locator Spy, record the IFRAME and click the "Validate Locator" button. If you start recording locators again, are the elements recognized again?

If that does not work, I would suggest opening a support case to investigate.

Robert
