Force use 1.9.8 PhantomJS with karma-phantomjs-launcher

Question

I have a build process... One of the steps is running test with Karma on PhantomJS. Unfortunatelly karma-phantomjs-launcher automatically fetches "phantomjs-prebuilt": ">=1.9", and this fetches latest PhantomJS (2.1.1) from the internet. And on linux machines I get this error:

I tried to manually launch PhantomJS 1.9.8 and it worked fine.

Is there a way to enforce download 1.9.8 instead of latest (2.1.1)?

Answer 1

Specyfing PhantomJS dependency version explicitly to 1.9.8 in package.json solved the issue.
