Phantomjs: PhantomJS 1.9.8 Segmentation fault 11 in macOS Sierra

[justinjmoses]

1. Which version of PhantomJS are you using? Tip: run phantomjs --version.
   PhantomJS 1.9.8 for Mac
2. What steps will reproduce the problem?
   
   
   
   1. Install macOS Sierra
   
   
   2. Download and unpack https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-1.9.8-macosx.zip
   
   
   3. Run phantomjs
   
   
   4. Segmentation Fault: 11
   
   
3. Which operating system are you using?
   MacOS Sierra (production release) 10.12. (This occurs both before and after upgrading to XCode 8.0 8A218a)
4. Did you use binary PhantomJS or did you compile it from source?
   Binary (though I tried a source build but ran into obvious compiler warnings for unsupported OS version and crashing soon thereafter for missing header files).
5. Please provide any additional information below.
   I can't upgrade to Phantom2.x for the time being; we're getting unusual errors with header scripts either downloading as async or defer in Phantom, causing body scripts to error out as their deps haven't loaded (still investigating)

Please upgrade to PhantomJS 2. 1.9.x is no longer supported, and known to have many crasher bugs that are fixed in 2 version.

Thank you for the response, but that's not really an option to those of us with legacy unit test suites that don't work with v2. I guess 'don't upgrade to sierra' is the workaround.

Feel free to file a new issue about your problems with 2 version.

Hi. I understand PhantomJS 1.9.x is not longer supported. Many projects are still using it. Mocha consumes PhantomJS 1.9.x for the sole purpose of ensuring those projects that _do_ use it can still run their tests. Unfortunately, there's a real lack of visibility around how many projects still use 1.9.x.

Our CI suite doesn't run on macOS, so this is mostly just an inconvenience for those Mac users hacking on Mocha.

I still get the error "Segmentation failed: 11", while I am using Phantomjs 2.1.1 (in macOS Sierra). Any idea?

[johanbaath]

Same issue on 2.1.1 for me as well 😢 .

[shifi]

I get 'Segmentation fault: 11' too on 2.1.1. Any ideas how to fix that?

Same problem here with 2.1.1 in macOS Sierra

Pleeeeease fix this issue, or make 2.1 usable on Mac OS (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/12685, which is closed but should not have been).
