Tl:dr - How can I reference CasperJS and PhantomJS from the C# project folder?
I've got working code that runs a CasperJS script from a C# project when I manually unzip the binaries for CasperJS and PhantomJS to the C: drive. (See here for a simple guide and working code below labelled WORKING Code:)
As there is no installation needed I thought it would be easy enough to move these to the C# project folder instead \tools\casperjs and \tools\phantomjs. Also, I need to update the PATH variable in code using p.StartInfo.EnvironmentVariables["PATH"] = EnvPath;
All of the combination of paths I attempt I keep getting the following error "Fatal: [Errno 2] No such file or directory; did you install phantomjs?"
All of the files have definitely been included in the file path. Am I missing something obvious?
