No shadow root in polymer element

Question

In the created() method of my polymer element the this.shadowRoot is empty! This was not the case in the version 0.9.5+2. But now, in version 0.11.0+5 I get an error.

What did change? And what should I do? Where should I place the initialization of the shadow dom?

Answer 1

This never worked for me. I always do this in attached() after the super.attached() call.
