Ok I finally found what the issue was. It was due to the IE.attach
that I am using in the code to attach to the page. Once I started
using browser.goto, things started working fine.
Apparently, the error message logged itself helped me identify the
issue. I noticed that internally there is again a call to IE.attach
when click_no_wait is called, and I guessed probably that is the
issue.
Please see the relevant part of the error message below:
Watir::Button.new(Watir::IE.attach(:hwnd,
591236), :unique_number, 4).click!();"
