Spork server crashes when connecting with client

[bob]

Hi,

I am running spork on a rails app, the server starts fine,

Spork is ready and listening on 8989!

but when I run either "rake spec" or "rake cucumber" the server
crashes with the follow error:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/
1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open': druby://localhost:51109 -
#<Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)>
(DRb::DRbConnError)

I am running the spork 0.7.5 gem with the stock /usr/bin/ruby 1.8.7 on
Snow Leopard.

Does anyone know what might be problem?

Thanks!

Bob

that is awfully strange.  it appears that it's having problems establishing the connection back to the client to send output. I wonder if you might have a firewall or something? (Seems strange that a firewall would prevent that, but that's where I would check first). Also, are you running the iPhone simulator? That always causes a slew of weird problems, you never know.

Hey, I whitelisted the spork script in my firewall and it worked!
That *is* pretty strange.

Thanks for pointing it out, it would've been the last place for me to try.

Awesome man!  Glad that was it.
