Timed out waiting for driver server to start when using PhanomJS

[ThreadedLemon]

I am receiving a timeout error after cloning the repo and running the following:

npm install npm test

Error:

Everything works as expected if I change the browser within wdio.conf.js to chrome or firefox

Additional Info: node: 6.3.1 npm: 3.10.8

I'll check it out sometime this week. Are you sure your selenium server is running and installed correctly?

[ThreadedLemon]

@michaelguild13 yes selenium-standalone has been installed and is running.

Sorry for the delay. From what I can tell, it seems as though phantomjs is no longer supported

[michaelguild13]

I will be updating this boilerplate to no longer use phantom in favor of the chromedriver.

The boilerplate has been updated and tested
