Passing arguments to PhantomJS through WebDriver/GhostDriver

I've been trying to get PhantomJS ( 1.9.7 )/GhostDriver to be initialized with some custom settings for quite a while, but have been completely unsuccessful. I'm using wd.js as my WebDriver library, and I have tried just about every combination of properties that I can think of, however nothing has worked, and I haven't been able to find any documentation.

Here's what I have tried passing ( userAgent shortened for sanity, it's a real one in my actual test cases ):

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "userAgent": "foo" }

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "settings": { "userAgent": "foo" } }

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "page": { "userAgent": "foo" } }

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "page": { "settings": { "userAgent": "foo" } } }

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "phantomjs": { "page": { "userAgent": "foo" } } }

{ browserName: "phantomjs", "phantomjs": { page": { "settings": { "userAgent": "foo" } } } }

And lot's more actually, using just about every combination of keys that I could think of from https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver#what-extra-webdriver-capabilities-ghostdriver-offers .

Does anyone have any idea what you need to pass in order to customize settings in PhantomJS when using Webdriver/Ghostdriver?

Ugh, well this was very unintuitive. When the documentation says that the property is phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent, one would expect that it follows normal javascript conventions. Not so, the key is LITERALLY phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent, so the answer to my question is:

{
    "browserName": "phantomjs",
    "phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent": "foo"
}
