Running phantomjs on linux using python

I followed this link and now when I type phan and then tab (\t) it does autocomplete to phantomJS.

Yet if I run phantomJS -v or phantomJS --version I get:

bash: /usr/local/bin/phantomjs: /lib/ld-linux.so.2: bad ELF interpreter: No such file or directory

Additionally if I try to run:

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 50, in __init__
    service_args=service_args, log_path=service_log_path)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/service.py", line 50, in __init__
    service.Service.__init__(self, executable_path, port=port, log_file=open(log_path, 'w'))
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'ghostdriver.log'
>>>

If I try to follow this I get:

>>> import os
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path=os.path.devnull)
Exception AttributeError: "'Service' object has no attribute 'log_file'" in <bound method Service.__del__ of <selenium.webdriver.phantomjs.service.Service object at 0x7f182ec13690>> ignored
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 69, in start
    os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH.

Is my selenium/phatnomjs installed with the proper rights?

I created a directory /home/ec2-user/temp and set:

chmod 777 /home/ec2-user/temp

Yet

>>> from selenium import webdriver
>>> driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(service_log_path='/home/ec2-user/temp/ghostdriver.log')

Yields:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/phantomjs/webdriver.py", line 51, in __init__
    self.service.start()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/common/service.py", line 69, in start
    os.path.basename(self.path), self.start_error_message)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: 'phantomjs' executable needs to be in PATH.

If I type which phantomjs I get:

$ which phantomjs
/usr/local/bin/phantomjs

回答1:

It very much sounds like a 64 vs 32 bits issue.

To find out whats the version of your ubuntu, you can run

$ uname -i
x86_64

Then make sure to download the correct version of phantom

32 bits version: https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-i686.tar.bz2
64 bits version: https://bitbucket.org/ariya/phantomjs/downloads/phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64.tar.bz2

Also make sure your lib are corresponding to the version of your OS.

You can check out this link.

driver = webdriver.PhantomJS(executable_path='Complete path/to/phantomjs.exe')

It worked well for me.
