Hi Titus
You said "when_present" and 'wait_until(&:present?)" does the same thing,
which is Waits for element to be present, the former is deprecated and
latter is recommended.
Why is that if bot does the same thing
Im trying to understand if "wait_until(&:present?)" is in any ways
Good news. I figured out how to minimize this message. Everything should be
better in 6.14. :)

Oh man, that FAQ is kind of dated, and more confusing than I remember it
being. I should tidy a couple things there.
The specific use case detailed in "Why are my tests taking so long?"
section of that FAQ is going to be rare, and very unlikely to apply to you.
So you should just ignore that
The deprecation message is thrown when rescuing a stale exception during a
call for #exists? / #visible? #present? because when we make the code
changes below, tests that rely on this behavior will fail. They need to
know about it, so there needs to be a message. Yes, the message is
happening
Sorry to too many replies. But this is really killing me. I see there is
anothet wait which is wait_until_present?
Someone please clarify the difference between the 3

6.0 onwards
2. element.wait_until(&:present) which is
Hi Justin/Titus
I have read the watit 6.0 release notes and FAQ
@ http://watir.com/watir-6-faq/#H
Thanks a lot for giving the valuable info.
Until now I was under the impression that "element.when_present" &
"element.wait_until(&:present)", but reading the notes I understood that
they are
Hi Justin
Unfortunately thats not the truth. We started automation for our project
approximately an year back, and Im pretty sure the version since the start
is post 6.0.
We are doing these kind of duplication out of ignorance.
Coming to the question, does watir show any warnings if we use
In that example, you should just #add_to_bag.
I'm guessing that you are working with a code base that is older than Watir
6.0. Before v6.0, add_to_bag_element.when_present.click was required for
elements that were not immediately present on page load (ie you needed to
wait for them to appear).

No, this wouldn't work, I have to wait until the element is visible,
element becomes invisible when loading completes.
And also, I am checking whether element is visible or not, I am checking
whether previously located element exist in the DOM. So this line
