Re: [zombie-js] connect ECONNREFUSED when using browser.visit

[Justin C. Rounds]

Are you trying to connect outside of localhost? That is not what
zombiejs is for. From the docs:

Browser.localhost(host, port)

Allows you to make requests against a named domain and HTTP/S port, and
will route it to the test server running on localhost and unprivileged port.

For example, if you want to call your application "example.com", and
redirect traffic from port 80 to the test server that's listening on
port 3000, you can do this:

Browser.localhost('example.com', 3000)
browser.visit('/path', function() {
console.log(browser.location.href);
});
=> 'http://example.com/path'

Thus you can have your web application running on whatever port and
internally your tests can use a sensible domain/path URL (to emulate a
real browser).

Thank you for replying to my message. I was trying to connect outside of localhost. The project I was working on took a different route though, and we're no longer using zombie.js - which is good since we were not using it for its intended purpose.
