phantomjs-maven-plugin : error Could not find a suitable constructor - maven

Question

I am trying to run the com.github.klieber.phantomjs-maven-plugin alone before trying to run it with com.github.searls.jasmine-maven-plugin.
The final goal is to be able to run Javascripts tests in maven then in Jenkins.
But I always have the same error :
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal com.github.klieber:phantomjs-maven-plugin:0.7:install (default) on project my-jasmine-project: Execution default of goal com.gith
ub.klieber:phantomjs-maven-plugin:0.7:install failed: Unable to load the mojo 'install' (or one of its required components) from the plugin 'com.github.klieber:
phantomjs-maven-plugin:0.7': com.google.inject.ProvisionException: Guice provision errors:
[ERROR]

.mojo.InstallPhantomJsMojo. Classes must have either one (and only one) constructor annotated with #Inject or a zero-argument constructor that is not private.

[ERROR]
[ERROR] 1 error
[ERROR] role: org.apache.maven.plugin.Mojo
[ERROR] roleHint: com.github.klieber:phantomjs-maven-plugin:0.7:install
I created a maven project with
mvn archetype:generate -DarchetypeGroupId=com.github.searls
-DarchetypeArtifactId=jasmine-archetype
-DarchetypeVersion=RELEASE
-DjasminePluginVersion=2.1
-DgroupId=com.acme
-DartifactId=my-jasmine-project
-Dversion=0.0.1-SNAPSHOT
and here is the pom where I try to only install Phantom JS
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>com.github.klieber</groupId>
<artifactId>phantomjs-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>0.7</version>
<executions>
<execution>
<goals>
<goal>install</goal>
</goals>
</execution>
</executions>
<configuration>
<version>1.9.7</version>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
Could you tell me what I am doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

I think your issue is the same as this one: https://github.com/klieber/phantomjs-maven-plugin/issues/34
Solution: Make sure you are using Maven 3.1 or higher.

Answer 2

I found an other solution for running Javascripts tests in maven then in Jenkins
Below is how I use it in my POM:
<!-- Install phantom JS binaries. -->
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-dependency-plugin</artifactId>
<executions>
<execution>
<phase>initialize</phase>
<goals>
<goal>unpack</goal>
</goals>
<configuration>
<artifactItems>
<artifactItem>
<groupId>org.phantomjs</groupId>
<artifactId>phantomjs</artifactId>
<version>${phantomjs.version}</version>
<type>${phantomjs.packaging}</type>
<classifier>${phantomjs.classifier}</classifier>
<!-- Unpack the artifact in a directory at the same level than
the build directory. -->
<outputDirectory>${project.build.directory}/..</outputDirectory>
</artifactItem>
</artifactItems>
</configuration>
</execution>
</executions>
</plugin>
Depending on the platform I activate different profile so that I download the correct artifact (the one for Windows or the one for Linux on where our Jenkins runs. Hope it helps ! :)
<!-- PhantomJS for Windows -->
<profile>
<id>phantomJS-windows</id>
<activation>
<os>
<family>windows</family>
</os>
</activation>
<properties>
<phantomjs.classifier>windows</phantomjs.classifier>
<phantomjs.bin>phantomjs.exe</phantomjs.bin>
<phantomjs.packaging>zip</phantomjs.packaging>
<test.script.ext>bat</test.script.ext>
</properties>
</profile>
<!-- XXX: Jenkins instance runs on Linux 64 bits. -->
<!-- 64 bits. -->
<profile>
<id>phantomJS-bca-jenkins</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>sun.arch.data.model</name>
<value>64</value>
</property>
</activation>
<properties>
<phantomjs.classifier>linux-x86_64</phantomjs.classifier>
<phantomjs.bin>bin/phantomjs</phantomjs.bin>
<phantomjs.packaging>tar.bz2</phantomjs.packaging>
<test.script.ext>sh</test.script.ext>
</properties>
</profile>
