GhostDriver into PhantomJS: it's finally ready!

[Ivan De Marino]

https://twitter.com/detronizator/status/270316928873156608

I haven't prepared a Pull Request just yet for few reasons:

- I'd love to have people build it and try it out

- I have few bits of work to finish on GhostDriver before I can tag it 1.0

The last point brings me to a question for Ariya: when is next release planned?

[Ariya Hidayat]

Excellent work! And of course it'll bring a lot of good news :)

As for the next release: http://phantomjs.org/release-1.8.html is
already prepared as a stub.

I think I can do it.

And, as I said, testing would be invaluable help ;)

Hi Ivan, great news!

To build, is it simply the following?

git clone git://github.com/detro/phantomjs.git && cd phantomjs &&
git checkout ghostdriver-dev && ./build.sh

Then check in deploy/ for the binary?

I've built this before, but have a new machine. Really sorry if this
is a dumb question, but I'm getting the following error:

./build.sh: line 90: src/qt/bin/qmake: No such file or directory

However:

$ ls -al src/qt/bin/qmake
-rwxrwxr-x 1 user user 12670083 Nov 19 11:31 src/qt/bin/qmake

This is an executable file. When run from the root directory, there
is no output, but when run from src/qt/bin it has output:

~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs$ src/qt/bin/qmake
~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs$ cd src/qt/bin/
~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/bin$ qmake
The program 'qmake' is currently not installed. You can install it
by typing:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake
~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/bin$ ./qmake
Usage: ./qmake [mode] [options] [files]
...more helpful output...

Running on Xubuntu 12.10 64-bit.

Thanks for any help,

ALex

Yes, you should compile it in the exact same way you compile phantomjs/master by Ariya.

Try to checkout the code, reset to HEAD and do `git clean -xdf`. This will delete everything is NOT part of the git repo.

After that, `./build.sh` again.

No luck :-(

Very weird.

There might be something weird in your setup.

Ubuntu-based distro should be all fine...

Not sure what it could be - I don't have qmake installed or an alias set up:

$ qmake
The program 'qmake' is currently not installed. You can install it
by typing:
sudo apt-get install qt4-qmake

Should I install it separately and remove the one from phantomjs repo?

Sorry for stupid questions. Obviously something is failing earlier -
added a call to `pwd` before `qmake ...` and get:

/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt
./build.sh: line 91: src/qt/bin/qmake: No such file or directory

Will investigate further.

Could it be something to do with this? I've not knowlingly done
anything to the fonts directory, or any other - should be a clean
checkout.

user@florin:~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs$ ls
/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/lib/fonts
ls: cannot access
/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/lib/fonts: Too many
levels of symbolic links
user@florin:~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs$ ls -al
/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/lib/fonts
lrwxrwxrwx 1 user user 60 Nov 20 15:53
/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/lib/fonts ->
/home/user/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs/src/qt/lib/fonts
user@florin:~/workspaces/ghostdriver/phantomjs$

Will delete project dir and checkout fresh.

Do you have FreeType2 properly installed?

Just to confirm, ensure all the dependent packages are available, see
http://phantomjs.org/build.html. The exact package names may vary
(different distributions and versions).

Thanks, works a treat! Here's to reading the manual :-) (and sorry
for wasting peoples time)

I have another newly installed xubuntu machine; would it be helpful if
I tried to make this "fatal error" actually terminate the build
process?

[templaries]

Congratulations. 

I have used the driver with success, it is working perfect against complex ajax web page. A awesome works.

So, i have a problem, i do not know to close de driver well. I close the driver object (close()), but a instance of phantomjs still is alive (phantomjs.exe windows).

King Regards.

[Ivan De Marino]

that might be an issue to fix ;)

Can you create an issue report on the GhostDriver github issue tracker?

Try driver.quit() instead. That's the preferred method for closing all resources associated with a driver, including the browser executable.

Hey Ivan,

congrats for huge achievement!

You might be interested in relevant discussion re: distribution of PhantomJS and GhostDriver Java bindings in Maven repositories to make it as much as accessible to Java users:

For me, the `src/qt/bin/qmake: No such file or directory ` was resolved as follows:
