protractor: PhantomJS sometimes crashes
I have been successfully running a fairly comprehensive suite of Protractor e2e tests using Chrome on OSX (Mavericks: 10.9.2).
We have a technical requirement to run these tests headlessly, so I swapped in PhantomJS instead of Chrome, and after 20 seconds (consistently), I get the following error:
Runner Process Exited With Error Code: 8
Fatal error: protractor exited with code: 1
Now for some more detailed information.
Here is the full error output from the grunt
task I am running:

I have tried installing version ~1.9.7-1
of the phantomjs
package independently of the one that protractor
depends upon, and updating the phantomjs.binary.path
property in protractor.conf.js
, but I get the same result.
After spending far too long debugging the JS to try to isolate where the error is occurring, I know that it is falling over in runner.js
.
Specifically in Runner.prototype.runJasmine_()
, the anonymous function passed to webdriver.promise.controlFlow().execute()
here is never executed.
Can anyone help?
Let me know if you need more information.

Iโll go ahead and close the loop here because upgrading to PhantomJS 2 resolves this ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐บ
Iโd also like to restate what Julie mentioned earlier:
If anyone encounters additional issues with Phantom, please try to raise an issue on the Phantom queue and resolve it there. Thanks, yโall are awesome! ๐บ
