i'm using Phantomjs combined with grunt and jasmine to run unit tests for AngularJs application. I'm experiencing strange behavior when the Unit tests become too many. In my case 754/755 unit tests. The unit tests run fail with the following message

Running PhantomJS...ERROR

0 [ '' ] Warning: PhantomJS exited unexpectedly with exit code 3221225477. Use --force to continue.

Aborted due to warnings.

When i comment out some old tests, so their number become less then 754/755 everything works just fine. When the tests becomes too many(more then 754/755) this error appears. I believe it could be something it the memory allocation of the PhantomJS, but i couldn't find anything connected to this error code - 3221225477 and i couldn't be sure. I haven't find any solution about it only the workaround with commenting unit tests. The problem occurs on Windows 7 machine, the same test build works on MacOs without problem, no matter how many unit tests are there, so it is also connected with the OS.

I would appreciate any help suggestions about it, Thanks!

I had the same problem and what I did to fix it was to change package.json and include in devDependecies the following modules:

"karma-phantomjs-launcher": "1.0.0"
"phantomjs-prebuilt": "2.1.12"

and re-run npm install

I believe PhantomJS has run out of memory.

  1. Download and extract PhantomJS 2.X from http://phantomjs.org/download.html
  2. Set PHANTOMJS_BIN variable to the phantomjs.exe path.
  3. Run your unit test.
