Summary

To support screenshot capture, prScreenShot is deployed to a local Tomcat installation.

Initially there were some SSL/certificate errors, which were subsequently resolved, but the errors below are still occurring.

These errors happen independently of what protocol is used: http or https.

Steps to Reproduce

Setup prScreenCapture by following the Pega OOTB installation instructions.

Root Cause

For reasons that are not clear, the interactive mode is not working for this instance.

For that reason the callback function is never getting called, and the page is not rendered. This is likely a phantomjs defect or an environmental anomoly.

Resolution

To solve this issue, Pega GCS redeployed the prscreenshot.war with a local change that always calls page.render (in CaptureImage.js file, which is included in the war) even if phantomjs does not return the 'success' status.
