Element is not clickable at point, ruby

[Den Dem]

I am using Rspec, Selenium Webdriver, Ruby, Mac OSx When I execute script for Firefox, everything goes smooth. When I do change to Chrome Version 43.0.2357.130, there is error

>      unknown error: Element is not clickable at point (385, 575). Other element would receive the click: <div class="ajax-progress
> ajax-progress-throbber">...</div>
>        (Session info: chrome=43.0.2357.130)
>        (Driver info: chromedriver=2.15.322455 (ae8db840dac8d0c453355d3d922c91adfb61df8f),platform=Mac OS X 10.10.4
> x86_64) (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::UnknownError)

I tried to add wait time, also with research, I found out for Java there is possibility to do with JavascriptExecutor.

Would possible to do something in Ruby?

Looks like an overlay element is displayed while some activity is completing.    

So does the div ever disappear?  I assume it does.  

Maybe something similar to:

while browser.div(:class,"ajax-progress ajax-progress-throbber").present?  do  #or visible? or exists?

  sleep 1

  puts ' - Waiting for process to complete'

end

Then do your click....

SuperKevy is most likely correct. The proper way to automate this would be:

- go to the page

- WAIT for the ajax process to finish

- click the element

A lot of times people don't realize they are waiting for things to finish. If you test it manually you are probably so slow that the WAIT time is literally 0 seconds. In the case of Firefox it will probably wait one loop then continue. With Chrome it might take two or three loops. Also, in Java there a WebDriverWait. This is really helpful in these cases. I use WebDriverWait which has an .until() method. This method can take as input a ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocatedBy(). So the end result is I can wait until the Ajax progress throbber disappears. Something like:

WebDriverWait wdw = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);

wdw.until(ExpectedConditions.invisibilityOfElementLocatedBy(By.cssSelector(".ajax-progress.ajax-progress-throbber")));

maybe there is an equivalent class in Ruby.

I hope that help you.
