Does Arachni use PhantomJS 1.9.2? If so, does it require 1.9.2?

Is it possible to upgrade to a later version of PhantomJS?

I'm observing some issues with PhantomJS, and hence Arachni, not working with an application that is using a newer version of AngularJS. Looking at the release notes, PhantomJS 1.9.2 is 3 years old.

    There are webdriver issues with later versions, 1.9.2 seems to the one working reliably.
    I do plan on checking out v2.1.1 soon though.

    What problem are you observing? I may be able to resolve it using a polyfill to add the missing functionality.

    Btw, have you tried the nightlies?

    Cheers

    Seeing pages not being rendered. When I check the HTML of the page it appears as:

    <html><head></head><body></body></html>

    or I've seen the login script succeed, but the login check will fail because it can't find the pattern. The pattern is not found because the <div> where it is located is returned empty:

    <div id="main-content" ui-view></div>

    What it should look like is:

    <div id="main-content" class="ng-scope" ui-view="">
<section class="ng-scope">
<ui-view class="ng-scope" autoscroll="false">
<ui-view class="ng-scope" autoscroll="false">
...
    I've seen these differences when running scripts in PhantomJS 1.9.2, 1.9.8 and 2.1.1 outside of Arachni against this same application.

    I previously tried a nightly with no success.

    Could you give me access to the web application?

    I can't do much without access, although could it be that you just need the following option?
