Basic Install Chromedriver Does Not Start (Windows)

[Sieabah]

Did a fresh install of laravel and the ran composer require laravel/dusk, following the scaffolding and the chrome driver doesn't work. Am I supposed to be running something outside of running the tests that is meant for dusk to connect to?

`

Also from within a vagrant box running debian I get what looks like a shell script,

`
vagrant@debian:/srv/web$ php artisan dusk

dir=$(d=${0%[/\\]*}; cd "$d"; cd '../phpunit/phpunit' && pwd)

# See if we are running in Cygwin by checking for cygpath program
if command -v 'cygpath' >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        # Cygwin paths start with /cygdrive/ which will break windows PHP,
        # so we need to translate the dir path to windows format. However
        # we could be using cygwin PHP which does not require this, so we
        # test if the path to PHP starts with /cygdrive/ rather than /usr/bin
        if [[ $(which php) == /cygdrive/* ]]; then
                dir=$(cygpath -m "$dir");
        fi
fi

dir=$(echo $dir | sed 's/ /\ /g')
"${dir}/phpunit" "$@"

It does work on Mac though, but doesn't work when it's running in vagrant.

[vuon9]

It cannot work in vagrant box (based on Windows 10) too. I've got the same error with @Sieabah.

[mnabialek]

@Sieabah @vuongggggg Try dev-master branch for this (PR with fix was already merged)

[vuon9]

@mnabialek Nice! Thank you so much. It's work.

@Sieabah Try dev-master branch in the composer. In vagrant, you need to change localhost to 10.0.2.2 in DuskTestCase.php (function driver). Hope it will help you.

[mrCartmenez]

I had the same problem and this thread solved it for me. Thanks!

My pc runs Windows 10, with the Homestead Vagrant box.
With dusk on dev-master, I tried to connect to 10.0.2.2 and that works, provided ChromeDriver is running in Windows and the correct APP_URL is in the .env file.

[denisrpriebe]

I got Dusk working with the solutions mentioned above on Windows 7 and Homestead Vagrant. It does however take upwards of 20+ seconds to execute the default tests included. Does anyone know how to speed this up?

[Sieabah]

I'll get to testing this tomorrow.

[deleugpn]

Can this be closed?

[nonDeath]

I try with dev-master and don't work for me, still getting connection refused

[deleugpn]

@nonDeath Are you running Cent OS? Ubuntu? Windows? Don't run with root user. Check out #98 and #71

[nonDeath]

I running over ubuntu, apache2 and php7. But i see that issues and ... I do not want to blow away.

Trying execute the code inside SupportsChrome trait on tinker and i get null when start the process. May be smoething is wrong (permissions, locations etc etc)

[nonDeath]

@deleugpn i work around on this work with phantomjs.

And ... in the past year i work with the facebok web driver but with selenium and it work fine!

[nonDeath]

@deleugpn it's work!

Using phantomjs, but running it on another terminal.

$ phantomjs --webdriver=172.0.0.1:9515

and then

$ php artisan dusk

And it works fine. But, and it is a great but....

After this work for me, phantomjs thrown an error and I look for this githubgist https://gist.github.com/flamingbear/10506888

And the port 9515 (DuskTestCase default port) ever is taken by the crhomedriver, i don't know why...

But killing its process, its works, unfortunately i'm killing it after each dusk running... not all was a great solution, but it work for me.

Changing the port for another unused, by example 4444... i get green in each test running.

This workaround i take from a friend and looking in this work https://twitter.com/laravelphp/status/826534379551936514

I got the same problem and found out what the problem on my side was: I had (running Win7) two local environment variables installed:
http_proxy and https_proxy pointing to 127.0.0.1:3128. I need them for composer and the corporate proxy. After removing it (temporarely), it works.

[BioTurboNick]

This appears to still be an issue.

[jvillaruel]

how to start chromedriver manually on linux?

Closing this issue because it's already solved, old or not relevant anymore. Feel free to reply if you're still experiencing this issue.
