What is
●

●
●

PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable
with a JavaScript API.
Created by Ariya Hidayat. (http://ariya.ofilabs.com)
PhantomJS itself is NOT a test framework, it is
only used to launch the tests via suitable test
runner.

What Exactly Headless WebKit
●

●

WebKit is the layout engine that designed to
allow web browsers to render web pages.
Chrome, Safari and a couple of other browsers
also use WebKit.
Actually, PhantomJS is a browser but a
headless browser. This means that the
rendered web pages are never displayed.

Use Cases
●

●

●

●

Headless web testing. Lightning-fast testing without the
browser. Various test frameworks such as Jasmine,
Capybara, QUnit, Mocha, WebDriver, YUI Test, BusterJS,
FuncUnit, Robot Framework, and many others are
supported.
Page automation. Access and manipulate web pages with
the standard DOM API, or with usual libraries like jQuery.
Screen capture. Programmatically capture web contents,
including CSs, SVG and Canvas. Build server-side web
graphics apps, from a screenshot service to a vector chart
rasterizer.
Network monitoring. Automate performance analysis, track
page loading and export as standard HAR format.

Features
●

●

●

●

Multiplatform, available on major operating
systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, other
Unices.
Fast and native implementation of web
standards: DOM, CSS, JavaScript, Canvas,
SVG. No emulation!
Pure headless (no X11) on Linux, ideal for
continuous integration systems. Also runs on
Amazon EC2, Heroku, Iron.io.
Easy to install.

Ecosystem
PhantomJS needs not be used only as a stand-alone tool.
Check also some excellent related projects:

This document discusses the webdriver.io framework for automated browser testing. The author needed a framework for blackbox testing of a web interface like a user would. Webdriver.io provides JavaScript bindings for Selenium that allow writing tests in a synchronous style using the browser object. Tests can run across multiple browsers and platforms. The framework is easy to set up and use, supports plugins, and allows custom commands. Under the hood, it communicates with Selenium using the WebDriver protocol to automate actual browsers.

Selenium Webdriver pop up handlingDestinationQA

This document discusses different types of popups that can occur in web applications, including JavaScript popups, browser popups, and native OS popups. It provides details on handling JavaScript popups using the Selenium Alert API. For browser and native popups, which Selenium does not support, it recommends setting up browser profiles, using the Java AWT Robot class to simulate user interactions, or employing an external automation tool like AutoIT. The document also covers configuring browser defaults, setting a download location, and using the Robot class limitations.

One step in the future: CSS variablesGiacomo Zinetti

CSS variables (custom properties) allow defining values that can be used throughout CSS code. This avoids duplicating values and makes themes easier to implement. Variables can be set globally or within specific scopes, and their values can cascade like regular properties. They also enable new techniques like responsive breakpoints based on variable values rather than fixed numbers. CSS variables are a W3C candidate recommendation supported in modern browsers via a double declaration approach for progressive enhancement.

Isomorphic JavaScript with NashornMaxime Najim

Isomorphic JavaScript applications can share the same code and run on both the front end and back end. It is also a spectrum containing applications that share minimal bits of validation logic with ones that share a bulk of the application code. Nashorn is a new JavaScript engine for Java that was released with Java 8. The Nashorn JavaScript engine makes isomorphic web apps on the JVM possible by allowing the exact same browser code to run on the server. This enables us to achieve the don’t-repeat-yourself (DRY) principle, by reducing repetition in a multitier architecture. This presentation covers the key concepts, rationale, and categories of Isomorphic JavaScript and how it makes your large applications maintainable.

How to track Cost and Revenue using Analytic Accounts in odoo Accounting, App...Celine George

Analytic accounts are used to track and manage financial transactions related to specific projects, departments, or business units. They provide detailed insights into costs and revenues at a granular level, independent of the main accounting system. This helps to better understand profitability, performance, and resource allocation, making it easier to make informed financial decisions and strategic planning.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 5-3-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC)

A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 817 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 97 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003. The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include: - Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources. - Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use. - Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner. CURRENT CASE COUNT: 817 (As of 05/3/2025) • Texas: 688 (+20)(62% of these cases are in Gaines County). • New Mexico: 67 (+1 )(92.4% of the cases are from Eddy County) • Oklahoma: 16 (+1) • Kansas: 46 (32% of the cases are from Gray County) HOSPITALIZATIONS: 97 (+2) • Texas: 89 (+2) - This is 13.02% of all TX cases. • New Mexico: 7 - This is 10.6% of all NM cases. • Kansas: 1 - This is 2.7% of all KS cases. DEATHS: 3 • Texas: 2 – This is 0.31% of all cases • New Mexico: 1 – This is 1.54% of all cases US NATIONAL CASE COUNT: 967 (Confirmed and suspected): INTERNATIONAL SPREAD (As of 4/2/2025) • Mexico – 865 (+58) ‒Chihuahua, Mexico: 844 (+58) cases, 3 hospitalizations, 1 fatality • Canada: 1531 (+270) (This reflects Ontario's Outbreak, which began 11/24) ‒Ontario, Canada – 1243 (+223) cases, 84 hospitalizations. • Europe: 6,814

Introduction to PhantomJS

1. Introduction to Console.log('Erol Seliektay');

2. What is ● ● ● PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with a JavaScript API. Created by Ariya Hidayat. (http://ariya.ofilabs.com) PhantomJS itself is NOT a test framework, it is only used to launch the tests via suitable test runner.

3. What Exactly Headless WebKit ● ● WebKit is the layout engine that designed to allow web browsers to render web pages. Chrome, Safari and a couple of other browsers also use WebKit. Actually, PhantomJS is a browser but a headless browser. This means that the rendered web pages are never displayed.

4. Use Cases ● ● ● ● Headless web testing. Lightning-fast testing without the browser. Various test frameworks such as Jasmine, Capybara, QUnit, Mocha, WebDriver, YUI Test, BusterJS, FuncUnit, Robot Framework, and many others are supported. Page automation. Access and manipulate web pages with the standard DOM API, or with usual libraries like jQuery. Screen capture. Programmatically capture web contents, including CSs, SVG and Canvas. Build server-side web graphics apps, from a screenshot service to a vector chart rasterizer. Network monitoring. Automate performance analysis, track page loading and export as standard HAR format.

5. Features ● ● ● ● Multiplatform, available on major operating systems: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, other Unices. Fast and native implementation of web standards: DOM, CSS, JavaScript, Canvas, SVG. No emulation! Pure headless (no X11) on Linux, ideal for continuous integration systems. Also runs on Amazon EC2, Heroku, Iron.io. Easy to install.

6. Ecosystem PhantomJS needs not be used only as a stand-alone tool. Check also some excellent related projects: ● ● ● ● ● ● CasperJS enables easy navigation scripting and common highlevel testing. Poltergeist allows running Capybara tests headlessly. Guard::Jasmine automatically tests Jasmine specs on Rails when files are modified. GhostDriver complements Selenium tests with a PhantomJS WebDriver implementation. PhantomRobot runs Robot Framework acceptance tests in the background via PhantomJS. Mocha-PhantomJS run Mocha tests using PhantomJS.

7. How to Download and Set Up ● Go http://phantomjs.org/download.html ● Download phantomjs-x.x.x-windows.zip ● Unzip the folder ● Set the path: 1.From the Desktop, right click Computer and click Properties. 2. Click Advanced System Settings 3.Click Environment Variables... button 4.Select Path in System variables and click Edit button 5.Copy and Paste the location of phantomjs folder. Ex; in my case: “C:UserserolToolsphantomjs-1.9.2-windows” 6. Click OK buttons.

8. How to Run ● Create a text file that contains the following lines: console.log('Radiohead is Awesome, by the way Hi World!'); phantom.exit(); ● Save it as hi.js ● Run it from command prompt like this; phantomjs hi.js ● The output is: Radiohead is Awesome, by the way Hi World!

9. Examples ● It captures screenshot with given width and height also get the page title.

10. Examples This script shows the number of twitter followers for a specific account.
