@blahah Thanks for your suggestion of nightmare. That’s really helpful!

@bright-sea Generally phantomjs as a node dependency is downloaded as a precompiled binary that might be pre-signed. Probably to re-sign it you would need to compile from scratch.

However, I would strongly recommend not using phantomjs - you’ll add a lot of size to your final distributable files. A great alternative for a lot of use cases is to use nightmare [website : github], which does similar stuff to phantom except it uses electron as the engine, so you can reuse the electron binaries that are already in your app.
