PhantomJS Hangs

[AdamBrodzinski]

I'm having troubles getting PhantomJS to work with the react transform boilerplate. When I run it with Chrome all tests pass but if I run it with Phantom it just hangs with [HMR] connected.

Have you ever ran into this before? Any ideas for troubleshooting would be most helpful!

Here's the full debug info if it's helpful:

I'm not sure why, but do you really need it with Phantom?
I'd just run it with a different configuration and React Transform disabled.

PS This particular project is just a binding for HMR. It's not an HMR implementation. Take a look at the source—it's unlikely that, whatever issue you have, it's related to this repository.

Oh sorry for the lack of context! I was using PhantomJS with Capybara for end-to-end tests. Using the Chrome driver works but flashes a window up every run and is slower.

It just hangs and logs [HMR] connected but perhaps it's the webpack dev server that's causing this?

I'll try disabling React Transform to see if that can get it working... it seems like the app never boots up when the PhantomJS driver is loading the page.

Thanks! Much appreciated!!

@AdamBrodzinski Did you ever solve your issue? I'm running into this as well. I want to run our selenium tests against my local running app to see if they'll pass but it only works with Chrome/Firefox. Fails with PhantomJS.

It seems like its because of the SSE events from webpack hot middleware. Doesn't look like PhantomJS can handle them?

@sontek I ended up switching to using Wallaby with Chrome so i'm not sure if this has been resolved. Good luck! 👍
