When using the IE driver with IE9, occasionally the Click method will only select a button, it wont do the action of the Click(). Note this only happens occasionally, so i d

Answer 1

WebdriverJS

In IE when you are attempting to perform an click() action, the URL keeps blink on status bar. It means the driver is focusing on the element and trying to perform click() action. In order to complete its click() action, i used sleep() method before and after every click action.

Try this example.

var webdriver = require('..'), By = webdriver.By, until = webdriver.until;
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().usingServer().withCapabilities({'browserName': 'ie' }).build();

driver.get('http://www.google.com')
.then(function(){
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(1000 * 3);
    driver.findElement(By.name('q')).sendKeys('webdriver');
    driver.findElement(By.name('btnG')).then(function(button){
    button.click();
    });
})
.then(function(){
    driver.findElement(By.css('div[class="gb_Zb"] a[title="Google Apps"]')).then(function(apps){
        apps.click();       
        driver.findElements(By.css('a[class="gb_O"]')).then(function(appsList){
        console.log("apps : "+appsList.length);
        for(var i = 0; i < appsList.length; i++){
        console.log('applications : '+i);
        if(i == 5) {
        var element = appsList[i];
        driver.sleep(1000 * 5);
        driver.executeScript("var tmp = arguments[0]; tmp.click()", element);
        driver.sleep(1000 * 5);
        } } })  
    })
})
.then(null, function(err) {
  console.error("An error was thrown! By Promise... " + err);
});
driver.quit();

to perform click we can use any of these, tested on IE

element.click(); 
driver.actions().click(element).perform();
driver.executeScript("var tmp = arguments[0]; tmp.click()", element);
