Cannot run Mocha tests with phantomjs-node - node.js

Question

I'm trying to use phantomjs-node with mocha to run some tests
var phantom = require('phantom');
phantom.create().then(function(ph) {
ph.createPage().then(function(page) {
page.open('http://localhost:8900').then(function(status) {
console.log(status);
if ( status === "success" ) {
page.injectJs("../node_modules/mocha/mocha.js");
page.injectJs("../node_modules/chai/chai.js");
//inject your test reporter
page.injectJs("testMocha/reporter.js");
//inject your tests
tests.forEach(function(test) {
page.injectJs(test);
})
page.property('evaluate').then(function() {
window.mocha.run();
});
}else{
ph.exit();
}
});
});
});
I run the file with
node myFile.js
But when I run the file nothing shows up in the console, none of my tests are run, and the script hangs.
If I do it without phantomjs-node I'm able to run and display my tests, launching the file with
phantomjs myFile.js
but I need phantomjs-node to do other things needed for my tests. How can I mocha with phantomjs-node?

Answer 1

The solution to my problem was that first i needed to start the evaluate this way :
page.evaluate(function() {
I thought i had to do page.property('evaluate').then(function() { cause i was using phantomjs-node but that's not the case
And second the reason i couldn't see my tests results from mocha is because in my reporter file i was displaying the result with callPhantom :
window.callPhantom({ message: args.join(" ") });
But with phantomjs-node this doesn't seem to work so instead just do a simple console.log
console.log( args.join(" ") );
An exemple of the reporter i use and a great tutorial on how to use phantomJS and mocha together can be found there :
