Failed to load URL happening with openTab but not open

[bradleygore]

I know there are other open issues for the infamous Failed to load URL issue, however I'm not 100% sure this is or isn't related as what I'm seeing appears to be specifically related to opening some specific URLs in a new tab vs an existing window. I have a simple test script, using a URL accessible by anyone, provided in this gist.

Here are my specs:

OS Sierra 10.12.6

→ phantomjs -v
2.1.1

→ npm ls | grep horseman
├─┬ node-horseman@3.3.0

→ node -v
v6.10.0

→ npm -v
3.10.10

Example output when running the script in the gist above:

No Tab

  horseman .setup() creating phantom instance 1 +55ms
