How to locate shadow dom radio button in Selenium?

Question

I have a shadow root radio button:

<li class="radios__item selectable__item" role="radio" id="ds-radio-button-group-4-item-0" aria-checked="false" aria-disabled="false">::before "Yes"</li>

::before "No"

I tried below code:

public void SelectRadioButton(WebElement radioButton) {
    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    WebElement radio = (WebElement) js.executeScript("return document.querySelector('#ds-radio-button-group-4-item-1').shadowRoot");
    radio.click();
}

I get below error:

org.openqa.selenium.NoSuchElementException: An element could not be located on the page using the given search parameters. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)
Command duration or timeout: 0 milliseconds

But it doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

Does this answer your question? [java.lang.NullPointerException error when trying to locate a shadow element with Selenium](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/75931152/java-lang-nullpointerexception-error-when-trying-to-locate-a-shadow-element-with) — JeffC, Apr 19 '23 at 19:06
Are you using the newest Selenium? What version are you using? That link shows the current method to access shadow roots. If it's not working, you need to provide more details. At a minimum, edit your question and add the full error message as text, properly formatted. — JeffC, Apr 20 '23 at 17:10
I'm using Selenium 3.141.59. I don't have option to use latest Selenium. The reason being I use Serenity BDD framework 2.2.7 — SKN, Apr 20 '23 at 17:39
Updated your Serenity... the current version is 3.6.7 and it contains Selenium 4+ — JeffC, Apr 20 '23 at 17:53
Updating serenity is not an option for me, as I work for a highly regulated domain and my org hasn't approved recent version of Serenity — SKN, Apr 20 '23 at 18:17
