Getting error - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it. - connect(2) (Errno::ECONNREFUSED)

[Sanjay Hiremath]

Hi Guys,

I have been getting this error recently. It was not the case earlier. I can't figure out what is going on. Can you please help me resolve the issue. I have copied the error message I am getting when I run my cucumber test on command prompt.

Please let me know if you need more info.

Many Thanks,

Sanjay

Hi guys,

I got this issue resolved.

The issue was I have hooks.rb which has

require 'watir-webdriver'

Before do

  @browser = Watir::Browser.new :firefox

end

After do

  @browser.close

end

I have the same lines of code in env.rb as well. For that reason 

The After block in hooks.rb is getting executed first which is closing the browser. When the After block in env.rb is executed the @browser instance variable is no longer to communicate with the browser.

Now I removed the code in hooks.rb and I am able to run all my scripts without any error.

Thanks for Cheezy for pointing me in right direction.

Cheers,

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay, 

You can still use after, but make sure you use:

after(:all) do 

  @browser.close

end

[Sanjay Hiremath]

Hi Bashir,

 

Do you mean I can still have after method as you mentioned in hooks.rb  ?

I did it, but it doesn't close the browser.

 

Thanks,

Sanjay

Hi Sanjay, 

Here is a snippet of what I use. After all processes are complete it closes the browser

  before(:all) do

    @browser = Watir::Browser.new :phantomjs

    @browser.goto(Admin)

  end

  after(:all) do

    @browser.close

  end

  before(:each) do

   sleep 1

  end

Hi Bashir - I get the same error like Sanjay -

"

but here we do not use Watir but use a custom framework we developed ourselves. In any case the env.rb contains the customized "After" hook as follows....

This After should trigger after scenario if it fails and not sure if that is causing this issue

We use ruby 1.9.3p125 (2012-02-16) [i386-mingw32] and the hooks.rb does not have @browser.close code in there like Sanjay pointed out. Can you please help? Can you suggest a better way to do this?

#post-scenario handler
After do |scenario|
	if (scenario.failed? && @test.verifyLogin())
		handleFailedStep(scenario)
		#Close and open browser to clean up
		if (ENV['NOKILL'].eql?('TRUE'))
			@test.logout()
			@test.clean()
		else
			@test.killBrowsers()
			@test.openBrowser()
		end
		@test.load()
		@test.login()
	end
end
