Headless Browser Testing with Gauge

[nareen chelvaraj]

Hi Guys,

I am trying to run some Gauge scripts with a headless browser (Phantom JS) . I am on Gauge Version : 0.6.2 and latest version of Phantom. All my scripts are running fine with Chrome or FF. Below is the stack trace of the error

Any thoughts \help.

Hi Nareen,

Sorry to hear about the issues you are facing. Unfortunately, this seems to be an issue related to your driver/browser ecosystem, and Gauge does not have much control there.

However, I should add that we have had users report success with Gauge + PhantomJS + Webdriver. The stacktrace isn't very informative either, so I am unable to locate a possible cause. Sorry about that.

thanks

Srikanth
