Unable to test using PhantomJS

[mikeerickson]

So, the following section of code is failing when using PhantomJS (with Karma) works fine with Chrome

beforeEach(function() {
    bard.appModule('app');
    bard.inject(this, '$controller', '$httpBackend', '$log', '$q', '$rootScope', 'dataservice', 'peopleService');
  });

I know all is loaded correctly (through karma.config.js) as the Chrome browser option is working just fine

The error in console is...

 "before each" hook for "should pass"
      PhantomJS 1.9.8 (Mac OS X 0.0.0)
    Error: [$injector:modulerr] Failed to instantiate module ng due to:
    TypeError: 'null' is not an object (evaluating 'this')

Afaik the solution for this was to update two packages in the package.json:

1. Use phantomjs2 launcher
2. Use new phantomjs lib

"karma": "v0.13.19", "karma-phantomjs2-launcher": "v0.5.0", "phantomjs-prebuilt": "v2.1.4"

Hope this helps.

What is your opinion @wardbell,thx.

@attilacsanyi Thanks for offer, but still doesnt work. Are you using phantom globally?

21 02 2016 11:40:36.518:WARN [launcher]: Can not load "PhantomJS", it is not registered!
  Perhaps you are missing some plugin?

Also, I am to assume I should (and did) remove

"karma-phantomjs-launcher": "^0.2.1",

$ npm i -D phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.4

or

$ npm i -g phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.4

@attilacsanyi Ah, pilot error.

Also had to make this change in karma.conf.js

browsers: ['Chrome','PhantomJS'],    

to

browsers: ['Chrome','PhantomJS2'],  // had to change to PhantomJS2

Whoops, I forgot to close this ticket....

@attilacsanyi Thanks again for your assistance.

Yes forgot to mention karma config with PantomJS2. I used dev dependencies only. Good to see its working for you. Yor welcome.
