Hi @Hotell,

Could you please check your firewall settings? You can specify custom ports
https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--ports-port1port2

Also if you use proxy server to access the Internet, please specify your proxy settings
https://devexpress.github.io/testcafe/documentation/using-testcafe/command-line-interface.html#--proxy-host

Hi @kirovboris unfortunately still the same issue

I've turned off firewall completely, even when I'm testing it on this repo example ( which is local ) it doesn't work

any suggestions ?

thx

[kirovboris]

Please try to specify localhost or 127.0.0.1 as hostname.

testcafe chrome test.js --hostname 127.0.0.1

[Hotell]

bang! worked ! any ideas why the default IP doesn't work though? on mac it works with default settings

[kirovboris]

It is a known issue, we plan to improve the hostname detection https://github.com/DevExpress/testcafe/issues/986

[Hotell]

@kirovboris cool would you accept a PR to docs which will mention this issue + how to fix it ? :) thx for help again! cheers

[kirovboris]

Thank you for the idea, @Hotell. We're going to create a new section on our site that will describe known issues.
