Click method not working with Cucumber Phantomjs

Recently i saw 1 wired issue, for a specific CSS, .click method is not working with phantomJS webdriver. It works fine using chrome. I am using below code to click on it by using SITEPRISM .

@page = someclass.new
@page.wait_for_fld_element_rows(30)
@page.fld_element_rows.first.click

I saw it can click always in chrome and other drivers but not phantomjs. I am using below config for phantomjs:

Capybara::Selenium::Driver.new(app, :browser => :phantomjs,     
desired_capabilities: { 'phantomjs.cli.args' => ['--ignore-ssl-errors=yes']

Here's 2 thing 1st you can try: 

1st) You can upgrade to phantomjs 2.1.1 (latest) as this is more stable version.

or,

2nd) Not-clicking Issue might happenned because of the ajax req. You can use retry with in rescue block and try to click again which may solve this issue.

PhantomJS 1.9.x is missing a lot of things modern JS frameworks depend on. The usual cause of JS behavior not happening with PhantomJS, when it works in other browsers, is the lack of Function.prototype.bind . You can polyfill that, but it's really a much better idea to just upgrade your PhantomJS to >= 2.1.x which is more stable and much closer to a modern browser than the 1.9.x releases.
