Nightwatch, Selenium and PhantomJS issue

help
1

Following the tutorial over at MeteorCasts.net

I have everything set up and working up until adding in PhantomJS. So when I test the helloWorld.js file with just Selenium and it launches a browser window it works. However when I put in the “desired capabilities” portion into nightwatch.json file I get an error back like the following.

Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server
{ sessionId: null,
status: 13,
state: 'unhandled error',
value: 
{ cause: null,
hCode: 665814274,
screen: null,
message: null,
localizedMessage: null,
class: 'java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException' },
class: 'org.openqa.selenium.remote.Response',
hCode: 1950702248 }

I am pretty sure that it is actually making the connection to PhantomJS and the problem is there. Anyways any help would be appreciated. I am on a mac, using selenium 2.46.0 and phantomjs 2.0.0.

Could you post your nightwatch.json file?

  }

Thanks for the help. I did get a response about this on the MeteorClub Slack group as well.

“phantom 2.0 doesn’t have webdriver bindings yet (ghost driver not in there yet last I looked), so you won’t be able to get a selenium based framework (like nightwatch) to work with it”

Oh, I’m pretty sure folks have gotten Nightwatch and Phantom working together. I’m on the road right now, but check out this link:
