Getting the following error, net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED at http://localhost:3000/

Hello, I'm trying to run BackstopJS and am getting the following error, net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED at https://localhost:3000/ and have tried so many solutions that I'm now at a loss as to what to do. Can someone please assist me? Cheers!

I've also tried http://localhost:3000 and that doesn't work either.

Sorry, hard to tell what's going on from your description. One suggestion is to run this sanity test script in your home directory. It will install BackstopJS and run a simple test on your machine -- if this is successful then you can work your way up to testing your specific app by modifying the config files little by little. (check the docs for details)

Hope this helps!

mkdir backstopSanityTest; cd backstopSanityTest; npm install backstopjs; ./node_modules/.bin/backstop init; ./node_modules/.bin/backstop test

Thanks, Garris, I will try that and report back. BTW, do you need any more information that might help?

[missamcdonald]

Unsuccessful, sadly. I get the following: zsh: no such file or directory: ./node_modules/.bin/backstop but I thought I had installed node. Will try that again.

Am trying to use Docker with BackstopJS, let's see if that works!

Oh dear, nothing is working. Could it be my web host? I changed the DNS settings to no avail.
