[neuro@localhost]$ phantomjs --webdriver=8080 --webdriver-selenium-grid-hub=http://127.0.0.1:4444
[INFO - 2015-06-09T16:09:46.432Z] GhostDriver - Main - running on port 8080

:262 in error
[neuro@localhost]$There're several bug reports in the github bug tracker of the said project, and in one of them some nice gentleman points at how to fix the problem. (https://github.com/detro/ghostdriver/issues/394#issuecomment-75531714)
However this requires building the upstream yourself, which in my case takes forever to do so due to a large dependency chain (I've seen QT among them, god knows why).
Here's a quick and dirty way to fix the issue until your distribution updates the package.
- Fire up your favorite hex editor and edit/view the phantomjs executable:
$ dhex /usr/bin/phantomjs-
For ghostdriver is written in javascript and embedded in the phantomjs distribution as plain-text, look for the line that's causing the bug:
-
Remove the line by filling up it with 0x20 (space) values. The line that you need to find and fill with ascii space characters is this:
platform: ghostdriver.system.os.name + '-' + ghostdriver.system.os.version + '-' + ghostdriver.system.os.architecture, -
Run and profit.
