Can't get wechaty up and running using phantomjs

[cherry-geqi]

I'm using the latest branch. While executing

WECHATY_HEAD=phantomjs ts-node example/ding-dong-bot.ts

it complains:

INFO Wechaty v#git[bdac338 BREAKING CHANGE: `room-join`/`room-leave`/`join`/`leave` events now only emit `contactList: Contact[]` as params. no `contact: Contact` anymore.] initializing...
WARN PuppetWebBrowser execute() exception: {"errorMessage":"Unexpected token ','","request":{"headers":{"Accept":"application/json; charset=ut
...
WARN PuppetWebBrowser driver() exception: no driver

Did I miss something?

Hi @cherry-geqi ,

you had run into issue #30 , please go there to have a look for the solution.

also, there has a probability, when phantomjs-prebuilt is not installed correctly, such as be interrupted when installation. My phantomjs-prebuilt directory size is about 44MB, if yours is far away less than me, delete it and re-install might help.

$ du -sh node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/
 44M    node_modules/phantomjs-prebuilt/

and due to #28 , I'm not sure whether phantomjs could work with wechaty v0.4.x & 0.5.x(master).

If you want to run wechaty now, I recommend you to use chrome head, because it's well tested and work without any problem.

good luck.

Thank you for the PR of #97

Could you confirm the phantomjs HEAD will work for Wechaty after your PR?

[cherry-geqi]

Yes, it works.

[huan]

Awesome. I'll turn on the phantom head unit tests then.

Cheers!

Hi @cherry-geqi ,

I still had the issue with running the demo bot: WECHATY_LOG=silly WECHATY_HEAD=phantomjs npm run demo, it can show the QR Code right. But after I scanned, it keeps showing the error: VERB PuppetWebEvent onServerLogin: browser not full loaded(15), retry later.

Could you try to run the above command for me to confirm whether it's ok at your side?

Appreciate.

Hi, @cherry-geqi ,

Could you please have a check for me for the demo bot? I need your help.

BTW, as you are reading the WechatyBro source code, you might be interested in this repository: webwxApp source code update tracker: https://github.com/wechaty/webwx-app-tracker/commits/master/formatted/webwxApp.js , just FYI.

[cherry-geqi]

OK, I'll check this late today.

Sometimes phantomjs sends webwxnewloginpage request but gets no response. When this happens, wechaty keeps logging VERB PuppetWebEvent onServerLogin: browser not full loaded(15), retry later. Right now I have no idea why the server sometimes responses and sometimes don't. I have even added some custom headers and changed userAgent to Chrome to emulate the behavior of Chrome but no luck.

Here are the snapshots:

@cherry-geqi thanks for the information about phantomjs. It seems we need to dig deeper for it.

According to your post, did you mean when you are using WECHATY_HEAD=phantomjs, sometimes it works and sometimes not? If so, what's the success rate of your test? for example, will get X success after retry 10 times?

[cherry-geqi]

Yes, about half-half, don't see clear regularities.

So how did you use Wechaty now? It seems you were using phantomjs before/now, but if it had this kind of problem, how can you deal with that?

Or you are using chrome/Docker now?

Hello, @cherry-geqi!

Long time no sees. I'd like to invite you to join the Chatie/Contributor Team because you are one of the early committers of Wechaty. :)

Did you receive my team invitation? I can resend an invitation to you if needed.

Thanks!

It seems phantomjs worked again by referring to #633

However it seems has some bugs like WebSocket connection is not stable, need to investigate more time to fix.

Close this issue because there are 2 users use it and it seems works like a charm.
