Good day all,
I'm working on automating some Ruby scripts to make them headless. My initial approach was to try Watir and its PhantomJS module. Our local test environment uses a self-signed certificate that I know some browser will error out on. I know that PhantomJS has a ignoreSSLerrors option but don't know how to specify that the PhantomJS driver should use it. I can create a headless browser phantom-js session without any problem but when I try to navigate to the webpage using the self-signed certificate, I get nothing - no errors, no text, no indication of why my page wasn't loaded.
Basically, this is what happens (the odysseyURL was defined elsewhere as a string URL that Firefox can load without a problem):
irb(main):035:0* driver = Watir::Browser.new :phantomjs
PhantomJS is launching GhostDriver...

I've searched and researched both Watir and Ghostdriver for documentation on anything like this but have found very little and nothing that could help me.
Any assistance will be appreciated, mpozos
I'm facing same problem through launching watir / phantomjs on https page, with same result
So I tried with mechanize to bypass it, but I was facing another problem ..
It was due to ssl certificate. I solve it adding ssl version and 'do not take account of ssl error' in the new instance .. But I still need to solve the main watir problem..
I've found following informations that I will test tonight..
first one, include more informations when launching phantomjs :
second, phantomjs usage :
so I think to test that solution :
I will publish results then
edit : I didn't succes with this solution .. I go watir headless directly .. hope this help
