nightwatch.js is not working for phantom.js

I have used nightwatch.js to automate e2e test cases for my product. It worked very well on chrome, firefox, and other UI based browser. However, I need to run it on phantom.js to run it part of Jenkins as a headless browser for automation.

I tried however test script is not working with phantom.js.

Test Script: 

describe('TEST PHANTOMJS#',function() {

  afterEach((client,done) => {
    client.end(() => done());
  });

  it('successful test google.com',(client)=> {

    // Launch google.com
    client.url('https://www.google.com').resizeWindow(1000,800);
    console.log('Launched Google')
    client.expect.element('body1').to.be.present.before(1000); // test error
    console.log('Completed testing')
  });
});

My nightwatch.json configuration:

{
  "src_folders": [
    "tests"
  ],
  "output_folder": "reports",
  "custom_commands_path": "",
  "custom_assertions_path": "",
  "page_objects_path": "",
  "selenium": {
    "start_process": true,
    "server_path": "./bin/selenium/selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar",

    }
  },

        "acceptSslCerts": true,

        "phantomjs.page.settings.userAgent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_10_5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/46.0.2490.80 Safari/537.36",
        "phantomjs.cli.args": []
      },
      "test_runner": {
        "type": "mocha",
        "options": {
          "ui": "bdd",
          "reporter": "list"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

After running ./node_modules/.bin/nightwatch --env qa --verbose I see following log

> nightwatch --env qa --verbose

Starting selenium server... started - PID:  11037

Ideally, it should complete the testing with reporting an error. However, it got stuck and doesn't move further.

Any help would be appreciated.

When you use PhantomJS on a website with HTTPS, you generally have to run your script with the ignore-ssl-errors option. Otherwise, you will often get in trouble... If your script works with all graphical browsers, but not with PhantomJS, your issue is most likely related to SSL/TLS.

In nightwatch.json, where you configure PhantomJS, make sure to add the CLI option:

"phantomjs.cli.args": ["--ignore-ssl-errors=true"]

The following script does not work without the option (it does not print the page title), but it works when you add it:

module.exports = {
  'PhantomJS': function(browser) {
    browser
      .url('https://www.google.com')
      .waitForElementVisible('body', 1000)
      .getTitle(function (title) {
        console.log(title);
      })
      .end();
  }
};
