Permission denied error with phantomjs

I am using Rails 4.0.2, Guard 2.2.4, guard-rspec 4.2.4, rspec-rails 2.14.0, Capybara 2.2.1 and Poltergeist 1.5.0 on Ruby 2.0.0-p353 and OSX Mavericks.

When I run bundle exec guard I got a lot of failure with this error message : An error occurred in an after hook Errno::EACCES: Permission denied - /usr/local/Cellar/phantomjs occurred at /Users/gillesmath/.rvm/rubies/ruby-2.0.0-p353/lib/ruby/2.0.0/open3.rb:211:in `spawn'

I checked the permission on /usr/local/Cellar/phantomjs and didn't notice anything unusual. I can run phantomjs without 'sudo'.

My spec_helper file look like this : ENV["RAILS_ENV"] ||= 'test' require File.expand_path("../../config/environment", FILE) require 'rspec/rails' require 'rspec/autorun' require "capybara/rspec" require 'webmock/rspec' require 'capybara/poltergeist'

Dir[Rails.root.join("spec/support/*/.rb")].each { |f| require f }

ActiveRecord::Migration.check_pending! if defined?(ActiveRecord::Migration)

WebMock.disable_net_connect!(:net_http_connect_on_start => true, :allow_localhost => true)

Capybara.javascript_driver = :poltergeist

I can't see what is wrong because the owner:group is the same for both the rails app and the /usr/local/Cellar/phantomjs dir and its content.

Thanks for your help

That error makes it look like it's trying to execute the /usr/local/Cellar/phantomjs directory instead of the executable inside it. I think Poltergeist scans your PATH for the first thing called phantomjs. Is /usr/local/Cellar in your PATH?

If so, I'd recommend taking it out, since executables should never appear in there directly.

If you can't, another option is to configure Poltergeist with an explicit path to phantomjs in your setup code: https://github.com/jonleighton/poltergeist#customization

It looks like someone has already opened a pull request with a fix to skip directories in the Cliver gem that Poltergeist uses, so hopefully that will be fixed soon!
