I am using grunt-contrib-qunit to run QUnit tests via grunt. It uses phantomjs internally.

I was getting the same error as the OP after upgrading grunt-contrib-qunit to the latest version (0.7.0):

PhantomJS timed out, possibly due to a missing QUnit start() call.

To fix this problem, I had to first load QUnit via require() and then execute QUnit.start() and define all my QUnit modules and tests after that.

The HTML file looks something like this:

Then the mytests.js file:

require.config({
    paths: {
        'qunit': 'lib/qunit/qunit/qunit'
    }
});

require(['qunit'], function(QUnit) {

    QUnit.start();

    QUnit.module('My Module');

    QUnit.test('some normal test', function(assert) {

        assert.ok(true, 'can run a normal QUnit test');
    });

    QUnit.test('some asynchronous test', function(assert) {

        var done = assert.async();

        setTimeout(function() {

            assert.ok(true, 'can run an asynchronous QUnit test');
            done();

        }, 50);
    });
});
