WARN [launcher]: PhantomJS have not captured in 60000 ms, killing - node.js

Question

I realize there are other posts regarding this issue but I haven't been able to find anything all day that helps solve my issue, I'm wondering if anyone would know a fix or be able to point me in the right direction based on my specific package versions.
I am running gulp to build my project, when it gets to the karma/karma-coverage.conf.js file it errors out with the warning I noted in the title -> PhantomJS have not captured in 60000 ms, killing..
I'm running NPM v 3.3.7, Node v 6.10.1

module.exports = function (config) {

var JS_AND_CSS_REGEXP = /(.js|.css)$/i;
// Adds 'coverage' pre-processing on JS files
config.preprocessors['build/debug/components/**/*.js'] = ['coverage'];
// Adds a plugin dependency on karma-coverage
config.plugins.push('karma-coverage');
// Registers reporter
config.reporters.push('coverage');
// Browsers options : PhantomJS, Chrome ...
config.browsers = ['PhantomJS'];
// !!!! : Comment code below if you don't choose PhantomJS Browser : It adds the bind polyfill to phantomJS.
config.files.push({
pattern: 'node_modules/phantomjs-polyfill/bind-polyfill.js',
served: true,
included: true,
watched: false
});
config.autoWatch = false;
config.singleRun = true;
// Configure Reporter
config.coverageReporter = {
reporters: [{type: 'cobertura', dir: 'build/reports/coverage/'}, {type: 'html', dir: 'build/reports/coverage/'}]
}
// override development configuration!
config.browserNoActivityTimeout = 30000;
};
Any help is appreciated!

Please try adding the environment variable
PHANTOMJS_BIN
with value
C:\Program Files\nodejs\phantomjs.cmd
I fell in similar problem and it solved. the value might be different in your installation. (I had to restart my OS, win 10)
