@saadahmedd The latest stable release of PhantomJS (2.1.1) is 5 years old. The version of Karma that you are using, 1.7.1, is also rather outdated (they are at 6.x nowadays). PhantomJS 3.x is currently in (slow) development, but still unreleased. You should not count on it being released very soon.

I suggest you upgrade Karma and use headless Firefox or headless Chrome instead of PhantomJS for the time being.

Hi @jgonggrijp ,

Thank You for your response.

When we are running the build in our local it successful but unluckily when we run the build through bamboo it fails with above error. So i am assuming the outdated versions should not be a problem here.

Would there be any possible solution here?

Regards,
Saad.

Honestly, I don't know bamboo and I'm not even very familiar with PhantomJS itself, just keeping a tab on the issue tracker as a "fan on hiatus". I probably don't know the answers to your questions.

When you write "I am assuming the outdated versions should not be a problem here" (emphasis mine), where are you referring to by "here"?

What is wrong with upgrading Karma and replacing PhantomJS by another headless browser for the time being?

@saadahmedd, you should try @vitallium version of PhantomJS, v2.5. clone, build (from scratch including Qt+WebKit, about 1 hour) and run. its still have webdriver (ghostdriver) for selenium remote webdriver, run well until now.

in my country, its called Lancar Jaya ...
