Error: Summary: ElementNotVisible about wdpar HOT 6 CLOSED

I was able to reproduce this bug on my Windows 7 system, but not on my Ubuntu laptop. It seems that this issue can be fixed by telling R to sleep for a few seconds before trying to click the button. This is strange (to me, at least) because (i) my Windows 7 computer has faster internet access than my Ubuntu laptop (i.e. it is connected to the same network as the laptop, but using an ethernet cable instead of a wireless connection), and yet (ii) my Ubuntu laptop does not need to wait before clicking the button.

Hi Jeff - how do you tell "R to sleep for a few seconds before trying to click the button"? Would be useful tip.

Thanks

Hi - I was just documenting a fix for the bug that I'll need to patch into wdpar. It's not really something that can addressed by an end user. The notes were mainly for my benefit in case this bug comes up again in later releases of Rselenium or if they change the https://protectedplanet.net website. I'm just about to release a new version on GitHub with the patch.

@smjohnson670, I've just released the new version on GitHub which fixes this problem on my computer. If you're experiencing this bug with the version on CRAN, could you please try installing the development version on GitHub (see README for instructions) and see if it works?

@jeffreyhanson thanks. the fix is working on my end now.
