title: Protractor click method on anchor is not working
body: <p>I have an HTML page with an header bar of this type:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div id="navbarCollapse" class="collapse navbar-collapse"&gt;
    &lt;ul ng-if="navMap.main" class="nav navbar-nav ng-scope" ng-repeat="item in navMap.main"&gt;
      &lt;li ng-if="item.items &amp;amp;&amp;amp; item.items.length &gt; 0" class="dropdown ng-scope"&gt;
        &lt;a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle ng-binding" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false"&gt;
            &lt;i ng-if="item.iconClass &amp;amp;&amp;amp; item.iconClass !== ''" class="glyphicon glyphicon-file"&gt;&lt;/i&gt;
            Documentazione
          &lt;span class="caret"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu"&gt; 
          &lt;li ng-repeat="child in item.items" ng-class="{divider:child.divider, 'dropdown-section':child.section}" class="ng-scope"&gt;
            &lt;a ng-if="!child.section &amp;amp;&amp;amp; !child.divider" href="#" ng-click="navigate(child)" class="ng-binding ng-scope"&gt;
              Introduzione
            &lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;ul ng-if="navMap.main" class="nav navbar-nav ng-scope" ng-repeat="item in navMap.main"&gt;
      &lt;li ng-if="item.items &amp;amp;&amp;amp; item.items.length &gt; 0" class="dropdown ng-scope"&gt;
        &lt;a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle ng-binding" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false"&gt;
            Funzionalità 
          &lt;span class="caret"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu"&gt;
          &lt;li ng-repeat="child in item.items" ng-class="{divider:child.divider, 'dropdown-section':child.section}" class="ng-scope"&gt;
            &lt;a ng-if="!child.section &amp;amp;&amp;amp; !child.divider" href="#" ng-click="navigate(child)" class="ng-binding ng-scope"&gt;
              Nuovo Ordine
            &lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
    &lt;ul ng-if="navMap.right" class="nav navbar-nav pull-right ng-scope"&gt;
      &lt;li ng-if="!item.items" ng-hide="item.items" class="ng-scope"&gt;
        &lt;a href="#" ng-click="navigate(item)" class="ng-binding"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li ng-if="item.items &amp;amp;&amp;amp; item.items.length &gt; 0" role="presentation" class="dropdown ng-scope" ng-repeat="item in navMap.right"&gt;
        &lt;a class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown" role="button" aria-expanded="false"&gt;
          &lt;span class="flag-icon flag-icon-it"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span class="ng-binding"&gt;Cambia&lt;/span&gt;
          &lt;span class="caret"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
        &lt;/a&gt;
        &lt;ul class="dropdown-menu" role="menu" aria-labelledby="dropdownMenu1"&gt;
          &lt;li nf-if="item.navigationMode.toUpperCase() === 'CHANGELOCALE'" ng-repeat="child in item.items" role="presentation" ng-class="{disabled: configuration.langId === child.locale } " class="ng-scope disabled"&gt;
            &lt;a href="" role="menuitem" tabindex="-1" ng-click="changeLanguage(child.locale)" class="ng-binding"&gt;Italiano&lt;/a&gt;
          &lt;/li&gt;
        &lt;/ul&gt;
      &lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;
  &lt;/div&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And I want to build a Protractor test that selects a particular item of one of the lists contained into the header bar. Each item of these lists redirects to another html, clicking simply on it. I am able to select correctly, with a test, an item of a list (I see, in debug mode, the selection of the correct item) but when I simulate the click, with the click() method of Protractor, nothing happens. The test ends successfully but I don't see the redirect to the selected page. </p>
  
  <p>An example code of this selection is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>// Opens on Documentation Menu -&gt; IT SUCCEEDS AND I SEE THE MENU OPENED
  $$('li.dropdown:nth-child(1)').get(0).$('a:nth-child(1)').click();
  // Choosing Introduction -&gt; NOTHING HAPPENS
  $$('li.dropdown:nth-child(1)').get(0).$('ul li:nth-child(2) a:nth-child(1)').click();
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>There are other Protractor's instructions to simulate the click on an anchor tag? Is there something wrong into my code or something missing?</p>
