For getshadowroot() what i need to import as it is throwing error and it is giving root element as null

[solvasquez]

I have last version available of Selenium which is 4.11.0. Last version available of Chromdriver which is 115.x and still getting:
java.lang.ClassCastException: class cannot be cast to class and are in unnamed module of loader 'app')

What could I be doing wrong? Literally have no clue on this. :(
