Can not start Phantom driver in nightwatch - selenium

Chrome driver can be started correctly, but failed when switch to phantomjs.
The strange thing is that the selenium process seems hanging there with no output, which is hard to debug.
I use my laptop with WIN7, download phantomjs.exe from its official website.
Since quite new to nightwatch, is there any advice or help?
Thanks a lot.
Here is my nightwatch.json configuration.
{
"src_folders": "tests",
"output_folder": "reports",
"custom_commands_path": "",
"custom_assertions_path": "",
"selenium": {
"start_process": true,
"server_path": "lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.45.0.jar",
"log_path": "log",
"host": "127.0.0.1",
"port": 4444,
"cli_args": {
"webdriver.chrome.driver": "drivers/chromedriver.exe",
"webdriver.phantomjs.driver": "drivers/phantomjs.exe"
}
},
"test_settings": {
"default": {
"selenium_port": 4444,
"selenium_host": "localhost",
"silent": false,
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "phantomjs",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true
}
},
"firefox": {
"selenium_port": 4444,
"selenium_host": "localhost",
"silent": true,
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "firefox",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true
}
},
"phantomjs": {
"selenium_port": 4444,
"selenium_host": "localhost",
"silent": true,
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "phantomjs",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true
}
}
}

problem solved, it's because miss binary path in "desiredCapabilities".
However, it's not cool phantom is so unique while others do not need set this.
"phantomjs" : {
"desiredCapabilities" : {
"browserName" : "phantomjs",
"javascriptEnabled" : true,
"acceptSslCerts" : true,
"phantomjs.binary.path" : "/path/to/phantomjs" //need this line!!!
}
},

How do I run nightwatch tests against safari?

I can't find any valid nightwatch configuration for safari that does not include the entire Selenium jar. The nightwatch documentation says:
Using Selenium Standalone Server used to be the de-factor standard for
managing the various browser drivers and services, but starting with
Nightwatch 1.0 is no longer required, nor is it recommended, unless
you are testing against legacy browsers, such as Internet Explorer.
Does safari count as a legacy browser? Does anyone have an example of a working nightwatch 1.x config file that can run tests against safari?
MacOS: High Sierra 10.13.6
Safari: 12.0.2
Nightwatch: v1.0.18
My current nightwatch.json which works for Chrome but not safari:
{
"src_folders": [
"__tests__/e2e/tests"
],
"output_folder": "__tests__/e2e/reports",

"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true,
"chromeOptions": {
"args": [

}
}
},

"globals": {
"env": "dev"
},
"webdriver": {
"server_path": "/usr/bin/safaridriver",
"port": 9515
}
}
}
}
Current error I am getting when I run the devSafari config:
Could not start server: must specify at least one configuration argument.
Got some help from the nightwatch team on GitHub (https://github.com/nightwatchjs/nightwatch-docs/issues/94) and I now have a working example config file for Nightwatch 1.x and Safari 10+. NOTE: By "working" I mean that the browser opens and I can see Nightwatch interacting with it. The tests don't actually pass the way they do in Chrome, but most likely this is just due to small browser differences that can be resolved in the test cases themselves.

Run: /usr/bin/safaridriver --enable
Open Safari and check Develop > Allow Remote Automation, then close safari.
Run nightwatch
With Safari 10+, you just need to use safari as the browserName. Then make sure to specify the correct environment when running tests. For my config, that means passing the options --env safari. Here's my nightwatch.conf.js:
module.exports = {
src_folders: ['tests/e2e/specs'],
output_folder: 'tests/e2e/reports',
selenium: {
start_process: true,
server_path: require('selenium-server').path,
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 4444,
cli_args: {
'WebDriver.chrome.driver': require('chromedriver').path,
},
},
test_settings: {
chrome: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
},
},
safari: {
desiredCapabilities: {
browserName: 'safari',
javascriptEnabled: true,

},
},
},
}

Is selenium automation in Opera browser possible using nightwatchJS?

I'm trying automation in Opera browser, but it's not working.
I got the below error message:
'Unable to create new service: OperaDriverService\nBuild
Here is my nightwatch.json code for opera:
"local-opera": {
"launch_url": "http://localhost",
"selenium_host": "127.0.0.1",
"selenium_port": 4444,
"silent": true,
"output": true,
"screenshots": {
"enabled": false,
"path": ""
},
"skip_testcases_on_fail": false,
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "opera",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true,
"operaOptions": {
"binary": "C:/Users/userName/AppData/Local/Programs/Opera/launcher.exe"
}
}
}
I am able to automate testing of my app in Chrome, Firefox, Edge and IE but I only find a problem with Opera.

Running test with Nightwatch in Firefox fails to connect to Selenium server

I'm trying to do an automated testing for a website using Nightwatch.js and I'm on macOS High Sierra.
So I started testing using the Selenium Standalone Server as said in the documentation.
The chrome testing works good and I have no problem with it. But I can't seem to make the Firefox testing work, I've been testing and searching online for a fix but I gave up because none of the solutions I found worked.
Here's is my nightwatch.json configuration file.
{
"src_folders": [
"test"
],
"output_folder": "reports",
"custom_commands_path": "",
"custom_assertions_path": "",
"page_objects_path": "",
"globals_path": "",
"selenium": {
"start_process": true,
"server_path": "./bin/selenium-server-standalone-3.13.0.jar",
"log_path": "",
"port": 4444,
"cli_args": {
"webdriver.chrome.driver": "./bin/chromedriver",
"webdriver.gecko.driver": "./bin/geckodriver",
"webdriver.firefox.profile": "nightwatch"
}
},
"test_settings": {
"default": {
"launch_url": "https://www.google.com",
"selenium_port": 4444,
"selenium_host": "127.0.0.1",
"default_path_prefix": "",
"silent": true,
"screenshots": {
"enabled": false,
"path": ""
},
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "firefox",
"javascriptEnabled": true,
"acceptSslCerts": true,
"marionette": true
}
},
"chrome": {
"desiredCapabilities": {
"browserName": "chrome",
"chromeOptions": {
"args": [
"--load-extension=/Users/jackch/Downloads/chrome, --url-base=/wd/hub"
]
}
}
}
}
}
And then when I run nightwatch -e --verbose in the terminal, I get the same error Error retrieving a new session from the selenium server Connection refused! Is selenium server started?.
I tried many things:
1) I started geckodriver in a separate terminal on the default port 4444, and here are the logs from geckodriver:
2018-07-23 12:09:03.432 plugin-container[27769:6329668] *** CFMessagePort: bootstrap_register(): failed 1100 (0x44c) 'Permission denied', port = 0x7903, name = 'com.apple.tsm.portname'

2) Then I tried to change the port of geckodriver, because I thought they may intefere since both Selenium and gecko choose the 4444 port, but nothing changed.
3) I tried to launch the Selenium server alone and then linking it. Which mean that I set the "start_process" to false in the nightwatch.json. And I still didn't manage to make it work.
Here is the complete message after I run nightwatch -e --verbose:

Page keeps loading when tests run in headless mode using phantomjs

I am using Nightwatch.js with phantomjs to run tests in headless mode.
There is a loading icon provided before any page loads.
Issue: Whenever I run tests locally using chrome browser, all tests work fine but when I run same tests in headless mode(using safari here,tried with chrome as well: same result), it just fails at the page with the 'loading' icon always as if the page never loaded completely.
My nightwatch.json looks as follows:
{
"src_folders": [
"test"
],
"output_folder": "./reports",
"page_objects_path": "pages",
"globals_path": "./globals.js",
"selenium": {

}

"phantomjs.binary.path": "./node_modules/.bin/phantomjs"
}
}
}
}
I have a globals.js file which includes:
waitForConditionTimeout: 15000
which is 15 sec still the tests always fail in headless mode at the same 'loading' icon place but always passes when runs locally.
Any help would be appreciated!

How do I test a localhost url in nightwatch js

I am trying to run UI regression tests against a local project.
I am running the project with Browsersync, which ends up at localhost:3000.
I have tried setting the url to the directory of my distributed files but this also does not work. Internet Explorer opens but cannot connect to the page.
Here is my nightwatch.json

},

Here's my test
module.exports = {

browser.resizeWindow(1024, 800);
},
'OOBE Homepage': function(browser) {
browser
.url('http://localhost:3000/index.html')
.waitForElementVisible('body', 5000)
.compareScreenshot('desktop-index.png')
.end();
},
};
Changing the launch_url to localhost:3000 worked.
