Error when trying to run unit tests with phantomjs and Selenium

Question

I tried resolving my issue following the steps listed in the Wiki pages and using github.com/theintern/intern-examples/phantomjs-example in running phantomjs with Selenium server. Although I still get this error:

$ ./node_modules/.bin/intern-runner config=tests/intern
Listening on 0.0.0.0:9000
Starting tunnel...
UnknownError: [POST http://localhost:4444/wd/hub/session /

Anyone else getting this same issue and know how to resolve?

Instructions from Wiki:

1. Using a local PhantomJS installation with Intern is very simple: In your Intern configuration, set environments: [ { browserName: 'phantomjs' } ] and tunnel: 'NullTunnel'
2. Ensure that the directory containing the phantomjs executable is in your PATH (this will typically be the case if you installed with npm install -g phantomjs)
3. Start your local Selenium server (java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.xx.x.jar)
4. Run intern-runner config=path/to/config

Answer 1

PhantomJS working well with Selenium 2.45

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupId>
    <artifactId>selenium-java</artifactId>
    <version>2.45.0</version>
</dependency>

Answer 2

PhantomJS is broken with Selenium 2.44.0 now too.

Best solution: Stop using PhantomJS!
Alternative solution: You’re stuck using Selenium 2.43 or earlier for as long as it takes for a PhantomJS patch.
