Normally, to click on an element you would use the standard
click()method passing in a common CSS selector.$browser->click('.selector');However, consider a scenario where you want to click on an overlay which more often that not appears behind or underneath another element. It is highly likely you will run into the dreaded "element is not clickable at point..." error because the topmost element, such as the modal, would unintentionally receive the click rather than the overlay.
It would therefore be useful to be able to click on an element at a given pair of coordinates rather than relying on a selector. This can be achieved by utilising
elementFromPoint()under the hood.$browser->clickAtPoint(0, 0); // Included in this PR
