Description

I'm currently trying to override

selenium/java/src/org/openqa/selenium/remote/JsonToWebElementConverter.java

Lines 80 to 90 in 31ffb78

protected RemoteWebElement newRemoteWebElement() {
return setOwner(new RemoteWebElement());
}
private RemoteWebElement setOwner(RemoteWebElement element) {
if (driver != null) {
element.setParent(driver);
element.setFileDetector(driver.getFileDetector());
}
return element;
}
however this is not properly possible because setOwner and other fields/methods are private

Reproducible Code

N/A
