Answer 1

I was having a very similar problem running PhantomJS on Windows 10 in the WSL. I have found that:

The crash might be originating in the QT WebSocket handling code.

Setting the Karma transports setting to polling solved my issue and PhantomJS does no longer crash on startup.

In your Karma.conf.js add :

transports: ['polling']
