I'm trying to get my Karma Unit tests to run on a remote Jenkins server. This Jenkins server is running on Linux with an old version of PhantomJS already installed and PHANTOMJS_BIN defined in the env. I'm using the gulp-karma and karma-phantomjs-launcher-nonet packages to run the karma tests.
However, when jenkins fires Karma, it seems to be unable to spawn PhantomJS. I get the following error:
[13:33:00] Starting Karma server...

So it seems to me that my karma is unable to run PhantomJS due to authorisation reasons, am I right? Still the phantomjs installation is done with user jenkins//jenkins so jenkins should be able to run it, right?
