bitbucket rate limiting phantomjs

Question

My CI builds keep failing with:

> phantomjs@1.9.7-15 install /home/travis/build/redgeoff/paste-image/node_modules/mocha-phantomjs/node_modules/phantomjs
> node install.js
PhantomJS detected, but wrong version 1.9.8 @ /usr/local/phantomjs/bin/phantomjs.

Make sure your network and proxy settings are correct.

This appears to be due to rate limiting on bitbucket.org. How can I prevent these errors?

Answer 1

Simply export a link to a different binary location, e.g. export PHANTOMJS_CDNURL=http://cnpmjs.org/downloads

For example, if you are using TravisCI you can use:

  global:
    - PHANTOMJS_CDNURL=http://cnpmjs.org/downloads

In CircleCI, you can use the following:

machine:

  environment:
    # Use a CDN to prevent bitbucket rate limits when downloading phantomjs
    PHANTOMJS_CDNURL: http://cnpmjs.org/downloads
