How do I change the page load Timeouts in Watir-Webdriver (timeout in .click method)

I have the following code 

browser.link(:text => 'Generate Report').click  
browser.radio(:value => 'byTotalValue').wait_until_present(180)

which requests that a report be generated and then waits for the report by looking for an element on the report page. The report can take upwards of 2 minutes to appear.

What is happening is a Timeout::Error is being raised from the click method after 60 seconds. I suspect that Watir-Webdriver has implemented some form of wait for page load within the click method but I don't see a way to adjust the value.

Any help understanding this would be appreciated.

I'd try upping the client timeout:

client = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Http::Default.new
client.timeout = 180 # seconds – default is 60

b = Watir::Browser.new :firefox, :http_client => client
