Support ES6/ES2015 Features #14506

ariya · 2016-08-25T13:58:28Z

ES2015 (also colloquially known as ES6) will be possible with the new effort towards version 2.5 (see #14458 for details).

When building PhantomJS with the latest QtWebKit, PhantomJS will get all the latest JavaScriptCore support for ES2015. See the blog post ES6 Feature Complete for more details.

At that time, all examples should be also modernized to use the latest ES2015 syntax.

(This is to consolidate every little, individual inquiry on ES6 request)

Hi!

When approximately do you plan release PhantomJS version 2.5( with ES6 support)?
New PhantomJS version 2.5 will support 100% ES6?

Thanks in advance

mgamsjager · 2016-10-05T08:14:37Z

I also would like to know when this is going to happen.

vitallium · 2016-10-05T08:16:05Z

Hi. Answering to your questions:

When we solve all issues listed here Towards PhantomJS 2.5 #14458
Yes. 2.5 will have full support for ES2015.

Loki won't be tested against Node 0.10 anymore, since it is officially at its EOL. This is also necessary to move to a Promise based API. Because PhantomJS currently does not support ES6, a Promise polyfill is used in the browser tests in the meantime (see ariya/phantomjs#14506).

babel-polyfill seems to be crashing PhantomJS for me...has anyone else seen that happen?

vitallium · 2017-01-11T15:36:07Z

2.5 beta release now supports ES2015! Give it a try! 🙌

killerbytes · 2017-03-02T16:48:11Z

How do I install beta release?

atesgoral · 2017-03-02T18:06:53Z

After spending around 30 minutes looking around (GitHub, Bitbucket, existing documentation) and even looking at the commit history (on master and 2.1 branches), I still don't know where the 2.5 beta source code is. Where is the latest and greatest (even if unstable) codebase for PhantomJS (for those of us who want to try building it ourselves)?

shellscape · 2017-04-25T15:23:11Z

Would someone with the project be able to release the 2.5 beta on npm under a next or beta tag? Tried the binary directly and ended up with dyld: Library not loaded: /usr/local/opt/webp/lib/libwebp.6.dylib.

arokhmistrov · 2017-05-25T16:44:02Z

@vitallium Binaries of the latest beta version for windows (phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-windows.zip) does not follow naming conversion for executable path as in previous versions.
It's now
phantomjs-2.5.0.beta-windows\bin\phantomjs.exe
instead of
phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-windows\bin\phantomjs.exe

It breaks phantomjs-maven-plugin, which uses this template phantomjs-{version}-{classifier}/bin/phantomjs.exe for the path.

For linux it's ok.

vitallium · 2017-05-25T17:14:53Z

@arokhmistrov Whoops. Updated! Thank you.

Bard182 · 2017-05-31T16:27:36Z

Any plans to create a ruby gem for the 2.5 beta? Super eager to experiment with it in a ruby project, but not having any luck implementing the downloads. Thanks!

I'm on trusty:

$ grep DISTRIB /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS"
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04

I downloaded phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-linux-ubuntu-trusty-x86_64.tar.gz and extracted it, I get:

$ ./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs 
./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.8' not found (required by ./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs)

./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by ./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs)
./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libstdc++.so.6: version `CXXABI_1.3.9' not found (required by ./phantomjs-2.5.0-beta-ubuntu-trusty/bin/phantomjs)

Looks like, I think, it wants gcc 4.9 but only up to 4.8 is available. I can't use PPAs, which seems to be the way the internet suggests getting gcc 4.9 on trusty.

vitallium · 2017-06-22T18:42:30Z

@arantius yes, we follow Webkit plans to drop old compilers (like GCC 4.8 or MSVC2015). Modern WebKit requires compilers with C++11 and C++14 support (most of them).

ashawley · 2017-07-03T14:02:48Z

@Bard182 For Ruby gems of 2.5, try building the branch at colszowka/phantomjs-gem#97.

The gem needs testing on Windows, so it would be useful to have someone verify it works.

Seems that it is now viable with the updated community QtWebKit.
From now on, please track #15342. Thank you!

Object.assign is introduced in ES6 (2015) which is not supported by PhantomJS. Replace it with the equivalent _.extend function to prevent frontend tests from failing. 1. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/assign#Specifications 2. ariya/phantomjs#14506
