So, it looks like there are a couple things going on here.

> clicks it
I think you just misspoke here, but to clarify just in case, `#click`
method will automatically wait for the element it is clicking to be
present based on that element's locator. `#wait_until(&:present?)`
does not automatically click anything
Figuring out if something is "displayed" is very tricky and the
drivers do their best job to approximate it. JavaScript will flummox
them for sure. Is the JavaScript jquery? You can wait for the jquery
queue to be zero. That would be easiest. I think PO gem even has a way
to do that automatically for you. Or you can: `browser.wait_until {
execute_script("return jQuery.active == 0") }`
If it isn't javascript, then it gets difficult because figuring out
these transitionary stages involves a race condition both before and
after the transition. I'm actually curious how other people handle
these with their explicit waits. I petitioned (and it was agreed to)
for the next version of the w3c specification to require an endpoint
to allow us to implement an `#interactible?` method, which we could
then poll for as an explicit wait. In the meantime, I think the best
answer looks like this, but it's a little hacky
def ensure_click(element)
element.click
rescue Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError => ex
raise unless ex.message.include?("is not clickable")
sleep 0.1
retry
end
As for `StaleElementReferenceError`, update to Watir 6.12. I think we
fixed a bug that caused that to slip through. If you are still seeing
that with 6.12, it's a problem and I'll want to dig into it more. You
should never get that with Watir.
