I am facing this issue still, even on pulling the latest versions

[Debashis9012]

@supraja-kr May we know which version of taiko you are using?

[CzarScar]

I am also facing this issue. I am using the latest release 1.0.0

[luciferankon]

@CzarScar @supraja-kr with the 1.0.0 version of taiko the script below works perfectly for me.

const { openBrowser, goto, click, closeBrowser } = require('taiko');
(async () => {
    try {
        await openBrowser();
        await goto("bookmyshow.com");
        await click("Bengaluru");
    } catch (error) {
        console.error(error);
    } finally {
        await closeBrowser();
    }
})();

Could you please provide some html and script snippet to replicate this issue?

@Debashis9012 I am still facing the same issue and Taiko version is 1.0.2.Please help!!

[zabil]

The fix is not released yet it will only be available in 1.0.3

Sorry, I mean an option to select hidden elements. For your problem please share an example script to replicate the issue.

This was resolved after adding waitFor() before subsequent clicks.
await waitFor(1000)
