Problem to solve

To assist with testability and improve reliability of the test framework, we should have an explicit wait attached to each interaction method.

Proposal

Override the find_element() method with a built-in explicit wait to ensure the element appears before any interaction.

def find_element(element)
  wait_until(sleep_interval: 1, reload: false) do
    has_element? element
  end  
end

Then have any method that refers to an interaction click, fill, check, uncheck, select - call find_element ensuring that the element exists before attempting to perform the action.

Adding a "wait until element present" to find_element is appropriate, too, since calling this would mean our test would expect the element to appear.
