I am trying to open a local HTML-file with PhantomJS (version 1.9.2):
var page = require('webpage').create(), fs = require('fs'), address = "/Full/Path/To/test.html"; console.log('isFile? ' + fs.isFile(address)); console.log('isReadable? ' + fs.isReadable(address)); page.open(address, function(status){ console.log('status? ' + status); console.log(page.content) phantom.exit(); }); First I check if I got the right path and if the file is readable using fs.isFile() & fs.isReadable(). Then I check whether phantomjs succeeded in opening the file (with status). Independent of the actual contents of the file I always get:
isFile? true isReadable? true status? fail <html><head></head><body></body></html> So the file and the path seem to be okay – but PhantomJS fails to open it! Any suggestions?

PhantomJS can open local files without any problems. The url have to follow classic Url/Uri rules, especially for a local file.
/Full/Path/To/test.html is not valid for PhantomJS. Is it a local file or a web resource?
Depending of the path, just try with something like this:
file:///C:/Full/Path/To/test.html or if it's hosted in a web server:
http://localhost/Full/Path/To/test.html An addition to @Cybermaxs answer: If you need to convert a simple relative path test.html to a proper URL, you can do so by something like this:
var fs = require('fs'); function getFileUrl(str) { var pathName = fs.absolute(str).replace(/\\/g, '/'); // Windows drive letter must be prefixed with a slash if (pathName[0] !== "/") { pathName = "/" + pathName; } return encodeURI("file://" + pathName); }; var fileUrl = getFileUrl("test.html"); Note that you can't use a solution based on file-url because it is based on path and process, which do not work within PhantomJS. Fortunately, the fs module provides similar functionality.
