When you try to install watir 2.0.4, it will grab the latest version of the

Yes, the plan is to remove :link, :link_text and :partial_link_text.
It is known that using :visible_text will not have the same performance. It
has to iterate over elements, where as the Selenium ones would not. The
benefit of :visible_text is that we can apply it across all element types,

The #wait_for_ajax simplifies things if you need to manually call it.
However, it sounds like you would have to sprinkle this everywhere.
I would suggest adding the jQuery.active check to your browser's
after_hooks. Ideally this would catch all (or at least most) of the
problems.
Note that
Hi Navi,
Just to be clear, are you saying that "Watir::Wait.until(timeout: 30) {

this manually everywhere?

In that example, you should just #add_to_bag.
I'm guessing that you are working with a code base that is older than Watir
6.0. Before v6.0, add_to_bag_element.when_present.click was required for
elements that were not immediately present on page load (ie you needed to
wait for them to appear).
Hi,
Accessing the spans within minimum_spend_threshold_error would be similar
to what you did with nav_div_elements:
page.minimum_spend_threshold_error_element.span_elements[0].html
#=> ""
page.minimum_spend_threshold_error_element.span_elements[1].html
#=> "Sorry, your Perks Payday Voucher
The accessors do not provide a mechanism for filtering the element
collection. In other words, the exception is from
`product_line_items_in_bag_elements(:"data-product-id" => '9350486827327')`.
You can filter the elements manually using `#find`:
class MyPage

I don't think you'll be able to directly call Page-Object's #wait_for_ajax

I believe you said you were using jQuery. Where you are initializing the

I get the same behaviour in 6.14 and 6.16 when running the below script -

require 'watir'
browser = Watir::Browser.new
browser.goto 'test_page.html'
