How do I solve "Failed to connect to localhost port 9515 after 0 ms: Connection refused" when runing dusk test in laravel sail env?

Question

I have been following this info https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/sail#laravel-dusk to get dusk to work with sail.

When I try to run a dusk test with: sail dusk

... I get: Failed to connect to localhost port 9515 after 0 ms: Connection refused

Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\Internal\WebDriverCurlException: Curl error thrown for http POST to /session with params: {"capabilities":{"firstMatch":[{"browserName":"chrome","goog:chromeOptions":{"args":["--window-size=1920,1080"]}}]},"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","platform":"ANY","chromeOptions":{"args":["--window-size=1920,1080"]}}}

what do you think this is?

I am on a mac, with Firefox as default browser. Nothing of this should matter (right?) since I use sail and are using a dockerized local env.

Answer 1

Make sure you have selenium defined in your docker-compose.yml. If not, follow documentation here: https://laravel.com/docs/10.x/sail#laravel-dusk

Also you need to run "sail dusk" instead of "sail artisan dusk".

Answer 2

This could be an SSL thing.

The simplest way to check would be to edit your driver() method in tests/DuskTestCase.php to allow your web driver to accept insecure certificates.

return RemoteWebDriver::create(
    env('DUSK_DRIVER_URL', 'http://selenium:4444/wd/hub'),
    DesiredCapabilities::chrome()->setCapability(
        ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY,
        $options
    )->setCapability('acceptInsecureCerts', true)
);

If that solves it you can either keep it like that review your SSL cert config

On miken32's suggestion. Please note that acceptInsecureCerts should only be used for testing purposes.

It seems that your host isn't able to access dusk. Be sure that you bind the port correctly in you docker-compose.yml

services:
  app:
    ...
    ports:
      - 9515:9515
