I am doing @browser.some_button(:id => 'some_id').enabled? but it is always returning me the true value even when the button is disabled.
I tried putting sleep for sometime and went and try to see if in the workflow button accidentally gets enabled but it is not.
What might be have gone wrong?

Problem
The Element#enabled? method only checks whether the element has the disabled attribute. It does not check if one of the classes includes the word disabled.
For example, given the html:
<html>
<body>
<input type="submit"id="disabled_id" value="disabled button" disabled>
<input type="submit" id="enabled_id" value="enabled button">
<input type="submit" id="some_id" value="Some_value" class="button is-disabled submit">
</body>
</html>
You can see that only the first button, which has the disabled attribute, is not enabled:
p @browser.button(:id => 'disabled_id').enabled?
#=> false
p @browser.button(:id => 'enabled_id').enabled?
#=> true
p @browser.button(:id => 'some_id').enabled?
#=> true
Solution
To check if the element is disabled based on a class, you will have to check the class attribute.
Assume the page has the following html, which includes the button in the "disabled" and "enabled" state:
<html>
<body>
<input type="submit" id="some_id_disabled" value="Some_value" class="button is-disabled submit">
<input type="submit" id="some_id_enabled" value="Some_value" class="button submit">
</body>
</html>
One solution would be to check if the element is present when including the class as a locator:
p @browser.button(:id => 'some_id_disabled', :class => 'is-disabled').present?
#=> true
p @browser.button(:id => 'some_id_enabled', :class => 'is-disabled').present?
#=> false
Alternatively, if you located/stored the element earlier, you could check the class_names instead (rather than re-locating the element):
e = @browser.button(:id => 'some_id_disabled')
p e.class_name.split.include?('is-disabled')
#=> true
e = @browser.button(:id => 'some_id_enabled')
p e.class_name.split.include?('is-disabled')
#=> false
