There seems to be an issue preventing the Chrome browser from launching with the error message: "ERROR: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0

My setup includes:

  • Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit)
  • Browser: Chrome version 58
  • Node.js: 6.10.1
  • Npm: 3.10.10
  • Chromedriver: 2.29.0

After running my tests with Chrome using Selenium standalone, I encountered an error in the console where Selenium was launched:

Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Timed out waiting for driver server to start.
Build info: version: '3.4.0', revision: 'unknown', time: 'unknown'
os.name: 'Windows 10', os.arch: 'amd64', os.version: '10.0', java.version: '1.8.0_131'
Driver info: driver.version: ChromeDriver

        ...
Caused by: org.openqa.selenium.net.UrlChecker$TimeoutException: Timed out waiting for [http://localhost:41643/status] to be available after 20002 ms

Furthermore, when I tried to access 27.0.0.1:4444 in the browser after opening Selenium standalone and loading the page, I received the following error in the console:

chrome
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4444

I have attempted switching between different versions of Node.js and npm, as well as using webdriver-manager instead of the selenium-standalone server, but the issue persists.

Interestingly, when I switch from Firefox to Chrome, the FF browser actually opens...

Previously, everything worked smoothly with Chrome until it suddenly stopped working. The current configurations match those of another team member who did not encounter this problem originally.

Answer №1

Facing a similar problem, I decided to upgrade my chromedriver version and that seemed to fix the issue.

Answer №2

It seems like the Chrome driver hasn't been properly started. You have two options to fix this issue:

  • Make sure that chromedriver.exe (latest version) is located in one of the directories specified in your PATH environment variable.

  • Alternatively, you can specify the location of the chromedriver file in your code. Although I personally do it in Java, there is a helpful discussion on how to do it in Javascript here: Passing require('chromedriver').path directly to selenium-webdriver

If you have already taken these steps and are still encountering the error, please provide the code where you instantiate and initialize the driver.
