Siesta Automation Test with PhantomJS - Timeout

Post by **Yunzhou** » Fri Nov 09, 2012 5:59 am

Hi All,

I just downloaded the trial version of Siesta Standard Package, hoping to try out the test automation capability with PhantomJS and Selenium Webdriver. When I try to run my test in cmd via PhantomJS, it shows "Timeout". (See attachment)

Can anybody tell me what's causing the problem?

Thanks.

First of all double check the harness URL. Then please try running the same command with "--debug" command line switch and report the results. Unfortunately PhantomJS 1.7.0 has some serious regressions, we've just downgraded version in Siesta back to 1.6.0. Does the same URL work with webdriver launcher?

Thanks Nickolay. After adding --debug in phantomJS, the error message is: "Can't find variable: Ext" Please see attachment.

As for webdriver, IE is able to launch and show the harness page, but not test has been run and I get the following error:

What I got after adding "--debug" in webdriver:

What version of siesta do you load from the harness page (test-harness.html)? It should load "siesta-all.js" file from the trial distribution. "siesta-all.js" from lite distribution does not contain some classes used by automation.

Hey Nickolay, thanks a lot for the information! I changed the library to 1.1.5 and it worked in PhantomJS!

Ok, cool. I'll add a meaningful error message for such case.
