QUnit tests do not work on Travis CI (works on phantomjs with grunt.js)

Question

We have implemented the CI system with Travis CI in our open source JavaScript enchant.js project. https://github.com/wise9/enchant.js

We like the qunit tests and we run them with grunt.js (npm), but it does not work on Travis CI with this error:

<WARN> PhantomJS timed out, possibly due to a missing QUnit start() call. Use --force to continue. </WARN> 

The full error message is here: https://travis-ci.org/wise9/enchant.js/builds/4016842

The strange thing is, every time I run the grunt command, a timeout error occurs in different tests, and sometimes all tests pass (in rare probability)

.travis.yml

 language: node_js node_js: - 0.8 before_install: - phantomjs --version 

package.json

 { "name": "enchant.js", "version": "0.6.2", "engines": { "node": ">=0.8" }, "scripts": { "test": "grunt default --verbose" }, "devDependencies": { "grunt": "0.3.17", "grunt-exec": "0.3.0" } } 

Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

I have the same problem and it caused my fact that QUnit asyncTest never returns when starting in PhantomJS.

We solved the problem by updating grunt and grunt-qunit to v0.4. We refused to understand the specific problem, but it seems that the error you found may be
