workflow-editor-shadow-dom-readiness

Playwright tests fail because Shadow DOM encapsulation hides readiness markers from standard document-level queries. You must use shadow-aware locators to target the custom element host instead of standard selectors to ensure the component is fully loaded.

Fix selector drift by aligning Playwright locators with component-specific readiness attributes. Targeting the custom element host directly bypasses encapsulation boundaries, preventing false negatives during automated smoke testing workflows.

Access readiness markers by updating your test selector to target the custom element host or using a shadow-aware locator. This aligns your query strategy with the component architecture to detect when the editor is fully loaded.

Standard CSS selectors cannot pierce Shadow DOM encapsulation to find readiness markers. You must apply shadow-aware locator patterns in Playwright to interact with custom web components and achieve stable test execution.

Automate smoke tests by updating test locators to target the custom element host rather than internal elements. This shadow-aware pattern ensures the workflow editor component reports readiness accurately before proceeding with interaction steps.
