如何使CasperJS和PhantomJS在优胜美地上正常播放？

Question

I've been experiencing some issues getting CasperJS and PhantomJS to work on my Mac Pro running Yosemite and was wondering if anyone had any insights?

I've npm'd CasperJS globally and downloaded PhantomJS2 to my drive as per the instructions, but I keep getting errors like:

[1] 9409 killed casperjs test/casper/test.js

How can I get them to work together?

This is a tricky issue and the solution will involve going round the houses a little bit, but this is what I've found works:

1) Use the instructions from the CasperJS documentation to clone the repository from GitHub:

$ git clone git://github.com/n1k0/casperjs.git
$ cd casperjs
$ ln -sf `pwd`/bin/casperjs /usr/local/bin/casperjs

2) Download this patched copy Mac copy of PhantomJS from GitHub and unzip it somewhere convenient. I added mine to a folder inside my app test folder as I only need it for that app, but you can put it anywhere.

3) Export the path of the binary you've just unzipped. In my case it would be something like[1]:

export PATH=$PATH:/Users/Andy/Development/app/test/bin

And that should do the trick.
