UnreachableBrowserException in Selenium Webdriver 2.42.2 with PhantomJSDriver 1.1.0

Question

I am doing a parallel execution of test cases using Selenium Web Driver 2.42.2 and Ghost Driver 1.1.0. The below exception occurs when more tests are being added. Initially, with less number of tests, I didn't see this exception.

Stack Trace:

org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Error communicating with the remote browser. It may have died.

Driver info: driver.version: RemoteWebDriver

Answer 1

Try to look at memory consumption by phantomjs executable.

Seems to be the problem is in .get() method, which creates objects in PhantomJS memory time to time, without cleaning it
