If it occurs before any tests run it generally means you don't have a compatible version of phantomjs installed. That being said, Poltergeist is obsolete nowadays. Phantomjs (which Poltergeist uses as its browser) is basically equivalent to an 8 yeah old browser at this point in time, and therefore doesn't support a lot of JS and CSS used in modern apps/sites. You're going to have a much better time if you switch to using the selenium driver with headless chrome or firefox, or one of the direct to Chrome (via CDP) drivers like Apparition.
