This kind of dynamic code is difficult. Firstly, `wait_until(&:present?).click` is currently redundant. The wait will happen automatically if you just do: `click`
Essentially the driver is processing the element as displayed before the desired action is attached to that element. Ideally, the front end devs add classes that indicate the status of the transitions that can be polled specifically before acting. If this is being done through a specific JS framework (like jQuery or Angular), you can do a generic wait for that framework's activity to be complete (see watir_angular gem or PageObject's JavascriptFrameworkFacade for JQuery) The final and hackiest approach I have used in the past is to implement an `#ensure_click` method where you specify the condition that has to be met for the click to be successful, and re-click if it is not. But this is inherently tricky because of all the race conditions possible.
