Can't run in PhantomJS

[CyborgMaster]

I use Ripple in combination with PhanomJS and Capybara to write automated tests for our Phonegap app. This worked great up through Ripple version 0.9.28. 0.9.29 introduced a new technique
for overriding native browser properties that doesn't work on PhantomJS. At
https://github.com/ripple-emulator/ripple/blob/0.9.29/lib/client/emulatorBridge.js#L81
it uses Object.defineProperty (before it just used =). One of the properties that is overridden is 'name'. This works in Chrome, but not in PhantomJS. (There is an open issue for PhantomJS here ariya/phantomjs#13895, but no progress has been made on it in 6 months).

Is there any way Ripple could use a different property name other than name, or possibly go back to using = for name? Then I could start using PhantomJS again for tests.

Unfortunately we found that to consistently patch the properties Ripple needs to patch, it needs to the Object.defineProperty (various properties fail otherwise).

I'm not sure in what context name is getting set (in the situation you're looking at, what object is it a property of?), but pretty much all the properties Ripple sets are replacing existing properties or defining properties that plugins expect and so can't be renamed.
