New issue 5569 by claus.ch...@gmail.com: Using PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS throws
ClassCastException
http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=5569


What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Instantiate DesiredCapabilities.phantomjs()
2. Add Capability according to the java doc of
PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS
3. Instantiate a RemoteWebDriver with this

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: PhantomJSDriverService.PHANTOMJS_CLI_ARGS will be used
Actual: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.util.ArrayList cannot be cast to
[Ljava.lang.String;
at
org.openqa.selenium.phantomjs.PhantomJSDriverService.findCommandLineArguments(PhantomJSDriverService.java:276)

Root Cause:
- BeanToJsonConverter#convertObject is converting String[] to a JSONArray
- JsonToBeanConverter#convertList is converting a JSONArray to a List.
- PhantomJSDriverService#findCommandLineArguments is casting the List to a
String[]

The reason this happens is because you expect to be able to pass a List
where a String[] is MANDATORY.

You have even highlighted correctly what is going on.

Just provide an array of String instead of expecting the driver binding
library to do the casting.

Anyway, if you have further discussion on this OR you want to provide a
PullRequest to implement a "generalised" behaviour, please use the
GhostDriver project https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver as the PhantomJS
Driver is developed THERE and not within the Selenium project.
