Selenium can not find element within #shadow-root (open)

Question

StackOverflow link for more info:https://stackoverflow.com/q/63709350/14208817

I was trying to automate the docs downloading process using selenium and python but I came across this problem when trying to click the download button.It is inside the #shadow-root (open) maybe because of that it is not found.I tried many solutions for the problem but none of them is working.

CODE:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
iimport sys
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

def expand_shadow_element(element):
shadow_root = driver.execute_script(
'return arguments[0].shadowRoot', element)
return shadow_root

docs = sys.argv[1:]
if docs == []:
docs = ['scrapy']
driver = webdriver.Chrome("/home/samip/chromedriver")
driver.get("https://www.google.com/")

search_box = driver.find_element_by_xpath(
'//*[@id="tsf"]/div[2]/div[1]/div[1]/div/div[2]/input')
search_box.send_keys(f'{docs[0]} readthedocs pdf download')
search_box.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
time.sleep(1)

source = None
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="Rzn5id"]/div/a[2]').click()
infos = driver.find_elements_by_class_name('rc')
for info in infos:
try:
check = info.find_element_by_class_name('eFM0qc')
print(check.text)
if check.text == 'PDF':
info.find_element_by_tag_name('h3').click()
break
except Exception:
pass

time.sleep(6)

While trying to use the above user defined function as suggested in answer to similar question the output is None if the element is body and NoSuchElementException is raised if the element is pdf-viewer and other element within #shadow-root (open).

I want to click the download button.

Answer 1

Yo dont put .click at end of "driver.find_element_by_tag_name(h3)"
Instead dothis :
Keep the inital driver.find_element but just delete the .click method. instead underneath type:
ACTUALLY juss copy and overwrite yours with this

search_box= driver.find_element_by_tag_name("h3)
time.sleep(2)
search_box.send_keys(Keys.ENTER)
print("Clicked")

I am sorry man but finding that download button is not that simple it is inside "shadow-dom" because of that we can't simple find with your method it needs javascript but i don't know how or anything about javascript but thanks for helping.
