Adding support for Phantom 2.5.0 beta

[phawxby]

Also fixed the proxy env var to also use the standard env var.

#668

[phawxby]

V2.1:

V2.5 beta:

[nicks]

this won't work, because not all linux distros are ubuntu trusty.

[phawxby]

Can they continue to use 2.1 until we figure that out? Overall feature support would be vastly improved switching to 2.5

That works in a world where no one has dependencies on anyone else. In the world we live in, there are transitive dependencies, and anyone who upgraded would break linux users downstream, which we would then have to support.

If you'd like to try 2.5 for your own purposes, you're free to create a new, separate npm package that just installs 2.5

@nicks Just testing an update to better handle Linux, would this be any better?

[phawxby]

@nicks you'll have to forgive me on my poor knowledge of Linux. I've now got this working on Ubuntu however it has an OS dependency on libhyphen-dev libwebp-dev gcc-4.9 g++-4.9. What's the best way to signal this dependency to consumers or correct it during install?

[nicks]

ugh : (

There is no good way to signal these dependencies downstream. NPM doesn't have a good mechanism for this.

just to make sure we're on the same page, are you aware that PhantomJS 2.5 might never come out of beta?

This is why we haven't pushed out a 2.5 installer - I don't want to push a bunch of compatibility/upgrade work onto downstream packages that ends up being a waste of their time.

[phawxby]

Ugh 2, i had missed that announcement. It's a shame the repo is split between github, bitbucket and Google groups.

Well I'm not sure what to do with this PR then.

I'm guessing something like webdriver.io would be a the way forward for new projects or is there a direct integration for Casper into chrome headless?
