Windows 10 Bash (WSL)

Open ghost opened this issue 8 years ago • 22 comments

I wouldn't expect this to be supported, but wanted to leave a note that I spent a couple hours trying to get karma / phantom running headless on Windows Ubuntu bash (WSL) and received the "could not launch Phantom Browser" error. I followed the recommended steps of installing the additional libraries, but to no effect. Looking at one of the other comments, I did see that someone resolved their issue not just with the 127.0.0.1 hostname fix, but also with the loopback. In WSL, the settings seem to have a unique way of working with ifconfig, so that may be an issue. Anyway, feel free to close this as unsupported if appropriate.

having the same issue... Again, it could be windows bash issue rather than the launcher. This is what I get

Can you start PhantomJS by itself? If not this issue should be filed on the issue tracker of PhantomJS.

dignifiedquire avatar Aug 10 '16 14:08 dignifiedquire

@dignifiedquire Right. So I tried PhantomJS with their quick start page

Please look at the screenshot, I assume this shows PhantomJS works on my machine. image

I think I need to do a minimal test on karma's phantomjs launcher

Update: I did a minimal test with karma init, chose PhantomJS. And saw the above error.

Voxis avatar Aug 10 '16 15:08 Voxis

@Voxis yes looks like it's working by its own :)

dignifiedquire avatar Aug 10 '16 15:08 dignifiedquire

I too am experiencing the issue above. I can run PhantomJS by itself, but too see the same issue as Voxis when running via karma-phantomjs-launcher. Any work work around found?

rsteen avatar Aug 11 '16 19:08 rsteen

I'm also experiencing the same issue. However, I started karma with the browsers option empty, then manually ran PhantomJS to hit http://localhost:9876/, and it crashed just the same. I doubt it's an issue with the launcher specifically.

Anything new here? I got this error:

I already did a "npm install phantomjs phantomjs-prebuild --save" but got the same error.

Chris2011 avatar Oct 12 '16 11:10 Chris2011

Ok I fixed this bug while installing libfontconfig: https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10904 but now I have the same bug with "phantomjs has crashed.". Now it is related to the Windows 10 bash too.

Chris2011 avatar Oct 12 '16 11:10 Chris2011

I am facing the same issue. Running phantomjs itself works. Tested it by doing a screenshot:

var page = require('webpage').create();
page.open('http://github.com/', function() {
  page.render('github.png');
  phantom.exit();
});

How can we get more debug info?

antitoxic avatar Oct 19 '16 11:10 antitoxic

I've raised karma's logLevel to config.LOG_DEBUG and also set debug to true in a custom phantomjs launcher.

I see the command that phantomjs is run is:

/mnt/c/MY_RPOJECT/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs --load-images=true --remote-debugger-port=9000 --remote-debugger-autorun=yes /tmp/karma-69611971/capture.js

and the content of the generated capture.js is:

(function (phantom) {
  var page = require('webpage').create();

  page.onResourceError = function() {
    phantom.exit(1)
  }

  page.windowName = "my-window"
  page.settings.webSecurityEnabled = false


  page.onConsoleMessage = function () {
      console.log.apply(console, arguments)
  }
  function debugPage() {
    console.log('Launch the debugger page at http://localhost:9000/webkit/inspector/inspector.html?page=2')

    var debuggerWait = 15000
    console.log('Waiting ' + (debuggerWait / 1000) + ' seconds for debugger page to launch...')

    var launchPage = function () {
      console.log('Launching page http://localhost:9876/?id=9595785...')
      page.open('http://localhost:9876/?id=9595785')
    }

    setTimeout(launchPage, 15000)
  }
  debugPage()
}(phantom))

When I run the command above manually I get:

Launch the debugger page at http://localhost:9000/webkit/inspector/inspector.html?page=2
Waiting 15 seconds for debugger page to launch...
Launching page http://localhost:9876/?id=9595785...
Phantom::exit() called but not quitting in debug mode.

I don't see any useful data but may be you guys will.

antitoxic avatar Oct 19 '16 12:10 antitoxic

Further, digging in, I am running my tests in one terminal (npm run tests) and running /mnt/c/MY_RPOJECT/node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/lib/phantom/bin/phantomjs --load-images=true --remote-debugger-port=9000 --remote-debugger-autorun=yes /tmp/karma-69611971/capture.js in another terminal.

I am doing this because as far as I can see the script just connects to karma server.

This is the error that is shown in bash shell after phantomjs dies:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

or this one in fish shell:

fish: “/mnt/c/…” terminated bysignal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

So if that's not completely wrong, than this error message might be interesting.

antitoxic avatar Oct 19 '16 12:10 antitoxic

Further info. I switched the --debug flag on phantomjs:

Have a very similar issue, but with Ruby/Poltergeist on Ubuntu for Windows 10. Maybe my debug output can help: https://gist.github.com/hartator/5a49360381dcdf47fc512f5fa1026b77

hartator avatar Nov 01 '16 07:11 hartator

Found a solution, the /run/lock directory was missing, just run mkdir -p /run/lock.

hartator avatar Nov 01 '16 21:11 hartator

Never mind, I think I've spoken too fast.

hartator avatar Nov 02 '16 00:11 hartator

There is a similar issue reported on the BashOnWindows

https://github.com/Microsoft/BashOnWindows/issues/903

moanrose avatar Dec 23 '16 11:12 moanrose

FYI, I'm reasonably sure the source of the crash is the lack of nonblocking connect() support in WSL causing a low-level QT error when using WebSockets.

mbland avatar Jun 05 '17 12:06 mbland

Is this still true? It is not possible to run tests on WSL?

brunofin avatar Apr 25 '18 07:04 brunofin

@brunofin It's been resolved since October: https://github.com/Microsoft/WSL/issues/903#issuecomment-338084071

mbland avatar Apr 25 '18 11:04 mbland

@mbland yes I see, I was running into another error, but I finally managed to make everything run, thanks.
