Prevent local file access by default to fix a security issue.
Please provide the localUrlAccess: true option if you want to keep the old behavior
but keep your system vulnerable to local file access.

Not sure this module is even usable without installing phantomjs manually.
On linux you might need to download the executable.

The tests are running locally on macos.
