Error on Windows10(x64)

[NinaNVY]

Hi,
I have PhantomJS installed globally. Phantomjs binary is available in the PATH and executable from the command line.
Here is my gulp task

gulp.task('tests', function () {
    return gulp.src('tests/spec/extraSpec.js')
        .pipe(jasmine({
            integration: true
        }));
});

I can not find logs and events.js:141 to see what's going wrong.
Running Jasmine with minijasminenode2 goes well when I delete the string integration: true from my gulp task
Please, help

Would you mind sharing your spec file?

[NinaNVY]

Yes of course :)
I'm taking Udacity "Web Tooling & Automation", they gave this spec:

describe('window height', function() {
    it('returns window height', function() {
        expect(getWindowHeight()).toEqual(jasmine.any(Number));
    });
});

And the whole code is here: [https://github.com/udacity/ud892/tree/master/Lesson%204]

Thank you!

[dflynn15]

So, I was going through the code given and noticed that your gulp task seems to be missing the vendor: 'js/**/*.js' found here: https://github.com/udacity/ud892/blob/master/Lesson%204/gulpfile.js#L46

That may be the source of the problem. Let me know if that helps!

[NinaNVY]

Thank you for your time dear Daniel!
My code already has this vendor: 'js/**/*.js' at line 46 :(
To detect Error I tried to run:
gulp > gulp_log.log 2> gulp_err.log
The result is here:

Maybe we could cut this problem into smaller pieces, something like this:
First, install and test jasmine alone (as node-module)
if it will work, then test jasmine with phantomjs to search for a problem with compatibility
if it will work, then search for a problem with gulp
Does it make sense?

[dflynn15]

I went ahead and cloned the courses repository down and everything works fine after npm install for all of the missing packages (they seriously need to give you guys a package.json file).

I think a good course of action to determine where the error might be coming from is to include this option in the task: keepRunner. This will allow you to have a spec runner html file after it breaks. After you run the task again gulp tests you should see a generated specRunner.html file that you can open and then determine if the error is in your tests.

[NinaNVY]

Thank you!
I added keepRunner: true;
After I ran the task again, a new spec runner html file didn't appear. I just opened the old specRunner.html, given by Udacity, and it showed no error.

I want to npm install all of the missing packages, as you did. Would you tell me which commands to run?

[dflynn15]

@NinaNVY. I totally lead you astray. It's keepRunner: './' not keepRunner: true 😭

[NinaNVY]

LOL :)
Thank you! Fixed keepRunner: './' :) and now it finally creates the new runner html file, which shows no errors :)
But after I ran gulp tests task, I waited 3 and a half of hours :) Here is the state of cmd all this time and the new error file

Gulp teststask created new runner, but after that it is simply hanging on and sleeping. So, after a few hours I pressed Ctrl+C :)
In case if it's possible that gulp-jasmine-phantom install got messed up I decided to try running:

npm uninstall gulp-jasmine-phantom
npm install -g jasmine-core
npm install -g phantomjs
npm install gulp-jasmine-phantom

Which didn't help

[dflynn15]

Well that's infuriating. That totally sucks, sorry that it hung for so long 😢 . Could you give me your system specs (OS, Node version, NPM version, and anything else you want to add)? I will try to set up a VM and see what I can do from there.

[NinaNVY]

Yes, of course, thank you!
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4500U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.40GHz
RAM 6GB
Windows10(x64)
Gulp version 3.9.0
phantomjs version 2.1.1
Node.js version 4.2.4
{ npm: '2.14.12',
ares: '1.10.1-DEV',
http_parser: '2.5.0',
icu: '56.1',
modules: '46',
node: '4.2.4',
openssl: '1.0.2e',
uv: '1.7.5',
v8: '4.5.103.35',
zlib: '1.2.8' }
And despite I installed npm install -g jasmine-core I got this instead of jasmine version:

And I checked all possible (just my guess) permission issues here. No permission issues.

But isn't it too much work to create new VM? Maybe it would be easier to use TeamViewer?

[NinaNVY]

I tried run the following command:
phantomjs /path/to/run-jasmine.js http://localhost/js/test/unit/
, here is the output:

after that it is simply hanging on and sleeping.
I ran npm install path
Here is the result:

Then I installed:

And here is the output of running phantomjs with jasmine:

Is it about process or Child Process ?

I found this:

You can start a process from within phantom via require('child_process').spawn

[dflynn15]

That's super interesting. Have you ever been able to run phantomjs normally without running into that issue?

For example saving this as a tiny little JS file and running it:

console.log('Loading a web page');
var page = require('webpage').create();
var url = 'http://phantomjs.org/';
page.open(url, function (status) {
  //Page is loaded!
  phantom.exit();
});

[NinaNVY]

It printed out all console.log, but didn't open any browser and the given page

[dflynn15]

Well, that's actually good. Concerning for me, but it means that your phantomjs works! I'll spin up that VM and start working on it. I know that there are some phantomjs issues with Windows, but that shouldn't be causing that issue.

[NinaNVY]

Hi Daniel!
Thank you!
Yep, phantomjsworks alone, but it doesn't work with jasmine together.
Would you peek at what happened after I ran npm install path ?
Here is a brand new message from phantomjs :)
