@prathimak you need ghostdriver 2.0.0 when running phantomjs 2.5.

driverVersion should be 2.0.0.

{"browserName":"phantomjs","version":"2.5.0","driverName":"ghostdriver","driverVersion":"1.2.0","platform":"windows-7-64bit","javascriptEnabled":true,"takesScreenshot":true,"handlesAlerts":false,"databaseEnabled":false,"locationContextEnabled":false,"applicationCacheEnabled":false,"browserConnectionEnabled":false,"cssSelectorsEnabled":true,"webStorageEnabled":false,"rotatable":false,"acceptSslCerts":false,"nativeEvents":true,"proxy":{"proxyType":"direct"}}

you can use the npm package and set the PHANTOMJS_BINARY_PATH environment variable to the phantomjs 2.5 beta binary.

Thank you jesg. But my selenium version under 3.0 do you think still i can use phantomjs 2.5.0

@prathimak you are running ghostdriver 1.2.0. phantomjs 2.5 beta requires ghostdriver 2.0.0.

see my previous comment on how to run ghostdriver 2.0.0 on pantomjs 2.5 beta or wait for the official phantomjs 2.5 release.

[kensoh]

@jesg do you know the state of things for PhantomJS? After maintainer Vitaly's announcement in April that he is stepping down. And Chrome headless is coming, Firefox headless is coming.

I really hope and still believe someone or organization would step up to take on the baton. After all, so much vested interests have been made in the PhantomJS ecosystem. Or at least some form of mitigation steps to ease any transition. Vitaly has a dummy Phantonium repo now, following it.

@kensoh

do you know the state of things for PhantomJS?

• phantomjs does not have an active maintainer
• phantomjs 2.5 beta has some quirks that make it unusable in most real world cases (see issues with 2.5 in it)
• i'm the current active maintainer of ghostdriver ... through there is no point in making updates when the parent project is stalled out

neither chrome headless or firefox headless are ready for selenium users.

I really hope and still believe someone or organization would step up to take on the baton.

same here. though maintaining a web browser across 3 different platforms is a colossal undertaking. the phantomjs devs made an honest effort to recruit more devs but did not get any takers. hence i wouldn't have high hopes.

[kensoh]

Thank you very much @jesg for your generous sharing. I understand more now.

My vested interest is in CasperJS and a general purpose web automation tool I made. CasperJS has intention to try to support Chrome headless. And there's Firefox headless direction through SlimerJS.

I try to look through CasperJS/PhantomJS open issues to see if anything I can contribute. CasperJS side made good progress past week. For PhantomJS after browsing through looks like I can't contribute much as my experience was through CasperJS layer.

Hi,

Still i can see this issue with the below versions

I am using with serenity and i set the birnary path as well
"browserName":"phantomjs","version":"2.1.1","driverName":"ghostdriver","driverVersion":"1.2.0","platform":"windows-7-32bit",

Can you please help me resolve this

Due to our very limited maintenance capacity, we need to prioritize our development focus on other tasks. Therefore, this issue will be automatically closed (see #15395 for more details). In the future, if we see the need to attend to this issue again, then it will be reopened. Thank you for your contribution!
