Android bootstrap socket crashed: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

[BernalCarlos]

The problem

I have an already working appium tests suite on my MacOS desktop, but when i try to run the same tests on an Ubuntu 16.04 desktop, I get the following error and appium gets closed automatically.

Android bootstrap socket crashed: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

Also, just to be clear, i'm not trying to run simultaneous tests, just a single emulated android device.

Environment

• Appium version: 1.6.3-Beta. Also tried with 1.5.3 and got the same error.
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): Not applicable.
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: Ubuntu 16.04
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 7.6.0. But got the same error with v6.
• Mobile platform/version under test: Andorid 6 (Marshmallow)
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

Details

Been stuck on this for a few days. Saw some question referring to simultaneous tests on the internet, but its not my case. I'm trying to run my tests on a single emulated android device.

Also tried to change the bootstrap port using the -bp option, and set the localhost address using -a 127.0.0.1, but no success.

Thank you on advance.

Forwarding system: 4724 to device: 4724

Why 4724 if Appium starts on port 4723 by default?

[BernalCarlos]

@mykola-mokhnach What I understand is that 4724 is the default device bootstrap port

[BernalCarlos]

Solved the problem by making a fresh install of linux mint 18.1.

Still don't know why this showed up in ubuntu 16.04.
