Hi,

I am trying to run my robot tests using headless browser for that I choose PhantomJS. My company has lots of firewalls and certificates to access portal. I tried to set up below code:

   File Should Exist   ${CTU_CERT_PATH}
File Should Exist  ${MY_CTUDEV_CERT_FILE}
File Should Exist  ${MY_CTUDEV_KEY_FILE}
   ${service args}=    Create List     --proxy=${PROXY_HOST}:${PROXY_PORT}
   ...     --proxy-auth=pmadasu@HelloDell@2204
   ...     --ssl-certificates-path=${CTU_CERT_PATH}
   ...     --ssl-client-certificate-file=${MY_CTUDEV_CERT_FILE}
   ...     --ssl-client-key-file=${MY_CTUDEV_KEY_FILE}
...        --ignore-ssl-errors=yes
LOG  ${service args}

   File Should Exist   ${PHANTOMJS_BINARY}
   Create Webdriver    PhantomJS
#   ...     executable_path=${PHANTOMJS_BINARY}
...       service_args=${service args}
Go To  ${BASE_URL}
capture page screenshot
page should contain  Domain Access

and when I try to execute I am getting error as below:

Hi,

It may not be PhantomJS specific problem. It could be your corporate Proxy reporting that.

Try to add the proxy settings in the test file (and not from environment variables). This is what I do for Internet Explorer.

Can you take off the capture screenshot and run ,

Phantomjs is browserless/headerless , so apparently there is no UI which gets loaded ... So that keyword might fail for no reason...

[ WARN ] Keyword 'Capture Page Screenshot' could not be run on failure: No browser is open

RC-PL-TOOLS-PL:1.7

Secondly , try to write a mini script using python and see it woks then use the RF part...

Hey Prathima,

Wow, I had to dig deep to find my post regarding this issue.

If you look at the page, you can see the problem is that requests for localhost are getting sent to the proxy server.

Please see this post:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/robotframework-users/Xhpho8voSLg/ZuzTTlLPvj0J

Also I hope you noticed that PhantomJS is pretty much dead - see https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/phantomjs/9aI5d-LDuNE

I use Selenium's Docker images, which run headlessly.

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for your reply. That's correct I have to set no proxy and 127.0.0.1 to my environment variables and then it worked with flying colours.
