Hi,

I want to excute my JavaScript with PhantomJS, but I can't figure out how to configure that.
I also didn't find a plugin for running .js files in PhantomJS.

So my question is easy: How do I configure WebStorm to execute certain .js files in PhantomJS?
(This is currently for mac, but that should work on Win too).

Regards,

   Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,

I would suggest you to set up an external tool:
externaltool.png
Done that, just trigger main menu action (you can assign keyboard shortcut to it) and it will execute the file in the active editor tab:
               mainmenu.png

Regards,
Kirill

Hey, I need some help.

My windows user account has a whitespace in it's name. Webstorm gives me the following error: "Can't open 'C:\Users\Name'

How do I solve this problem?

 

Thanks in advance.

1. don't add quotes around Program: path - WebStorm will take care of it

2. as you are using $FileDir$ as a working directory, you can just use $FileName$ as Arguments:; but, if you like to pass a full path, use "$FileDir$/$FileName$" (in quotes)
