Use jQuery DOM selector syntax in PhantomJS?

Question

I'm learning PhantomJS and wondered if it's possible to use jQuery DOM selectors in the JS files PhantomJS runs? I've seen a short example on github that appears to indicate this:

Sample of PhantomJS with Qunit (and jQuery?)

If you look at the run-qunit.js file at the top it seems state you can use jQuery DOM selectors as parameters. But I'm getting errors when I do that-- not sure whether it's my syntax or because Phantom doesn't know about jQuery, so I thought I'd ask first about the PhantomJS/jQuery relationship.

There is people telling that documentation samples loading JQuery are buggy and load JQuery on PhamtomJS is impossible here: loading jquery on phanthomjs

Answer 2

Use page.injectJs('jquery-1.6.1.min.js'); it will work fine.

Answer 3

..well, as soon as I posted, I (naturally) found this. Looks like it is possible in fact to include jQuery:
