Description

security-admin-web UI tests fail on Linux ARM64 because they depend on PhantomJS.

PhantomJS is not maintained since 2018 and it does not provide binary for linux/aarch64 CPU architecture.

 

I see two solutions:

1) use https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/github/liusheng/phantomjs/2.1.1/

When building on Linux ARM64 add this library as dependency, unpack it, and point to its aarch64 binary with PHANTOMJS_BIN=/path/to/the/unpacked/phantomjs

 

2) in my opinion a better solution would be to use headless Chromium/Firefox instead of PhantomJS

As I said PhantomJS is not maintained since 2018 and since then there are many changes and new features in the modern browsers
