When I do $ npm install --global the-a11y-machine, it works.

But then when running, I don't find the output:

josh@Macbuech:~/Documents/Work/MuheimWebdesign/pimp$ a11ym http://ag.ch

In the same folder there's no a11ym_output folder. Also, the output above doesn't really look like the task finishes correctly...?

I also tried it on a windows machine, and it's exactly the same there.

Hello,

For the npm error, you should create a package.json file. Try npm install --save the-a11y-machine. When installing globally, a package.json file is created somewhere nearby your home directory, so you don't have this error.

If the tests stop running suddenly, you can incriminate PhantomJS quite easily most of the time :-/. What version of PhantomJS are you running?

jmuheim commented 7 years ago

Both OSX and Win:

$ phantomjs -v
2.1.1

I use PhantomJS heavily for feature tests in Rails projects, and it works flawlessly there.

Same here. OK, I will try as soon as I have time!

I'm seeing this issue still:

 ENOENT: no such file or directory, open C:\users\spjbd\package.json
No description
No repository field.
No README data
No license field.

UPDATE: installing globally seemed to fix the issue.

@jasonday https://github.com/liip/TheA11yMachine/issues/75#issuecomment-260902328 for the package.json issue. This is not related to this project.
