Karma not capturing with PhantomJS - I have a debug log and versions listed inside.

[iangregsondev]

Hi there,

I seem to have some major issue with running tests via PhantonJS, it works with Chrome but PhantomJS just constantly timesout.

Here are my versions

NPM 1.3.8

Karma 0.10.2

PhantomJS 1.9.2-2

I have gone into IE and disabled Automatic detect proxy settings but no luck

I run the following command

karma start --browsers PhantomJS --log-level debug

And my log

PS C:\dev\testTesting> karma start --browsers PhantomJS --log-level debug

I have managed to get this working but its not ideal, I increased the captureTimeout to 200,000 and it seems to work. For some reason the capture is taking a long time.

Any fixes for this or anyone know why it should be taking over 60,000 ms to capture ?

Thanks in advance

I have no idea why capturing takes so long.

You can try to debug PhantomJS to figure out what's going on in the browser:

Honestly, I'm surprised, that so many people still using PhantomJS. It so slower than using regular Chrome/Safari and debuggability is so much worse.
