PhantomJs安装

Question

I'm new with phantomJS , I'v installed it and saved the file in this path C:\\bin\\Phantomjs\\phantomjs-1.9.7-windows and added this to the windows PATH. in their manual it says to create a JS file and write the following and save it as hello.js:

console.log('Hello, world!'); phantom.exit();

then open the command line and type : phantomjs hello.js

I keep getting an error that says "parse error".

and when entering the file phantomjs and it becomes "phantomjs> " and i write hello.js i get another error " cannot find variable : hello "

How can i access the hello file ?

thanks

Answer 1

The basic scenario would be to place your JS file in the same folder as phantomjs.exe

1. Navigate to the folder with phantomjs.exe and your js file
2. Press CTRL + Shift + Mouse Right click and select 'Open command window here'
3. Enter: phantomjs <fileName>.js

If this works you can expand the example from there with your path vars. Run this example to make sure that everything is set up correctly

Also when you just type phantomjs, you are entering its console where you can execute javascript code. So when you type in hello.js there, it's trying to interpret it as a javascript code and hello is not defined.
