PhantomJS PATH not found (deploying to production)

[shafy]

While it works fine locally, when I try to deploy to production on Heroku it throws the following error:

PhantomJS not found on PATH
remote:        Phantom installation failed TypeError: Path must be a string. Received undefined

I use react-create-app and the https://github.com/mars/create-react-app-buildpack.git build pack on Heroku with yarn.

Any ideas?

I did some research and it seems like the issue is resolved in phantomjs-prebuilt@2.1.8 - @tbolis could you try updating that?

E.g. see here:
karma-runner/karma-phantomjs-launcher#120
yarnpkg/yarn#1016

Can we upgrade phantomjs-prebuilt?

With npm the build seems to work anyway, but I have the same error using yarn.

With yarn we can force the build to use a newer version :
in package.json

  "resolutions": {
    "react-sketch/**/phantomjs-prebuilt": "2.1.8"
  }

The build now works good

I'm preparing a new version where I removed phantom and I use jest, stay tuned!

@slevy85 awesome workaround
