Question

I am using Selenium. My application shows an error page. It throws the following error:

    raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
  (Session info: chrome=104.0.5112.102)
Stacktrace:

This is my code

    from selenium import webdriver 

driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:path/in/the/pc/chromedriver_win32/chromedriver.exe')    ## to initialize the webdriver to the Selenium 
driver.get('http://127.0.0.1:5000/base')

How can I resolve the above error?

Answer 1

driver.get('http://127.0.0.1:5000/base')

make sure 'http://127.0.0.1:5000/base' you can reach this with chrome, nothing wrong with your code just try another link.

driver.get('https://www.google.com/')

hope it can solve your problem

thanks Charles for your answer, it work with the google url but note my app url – Churchless

the problem is that the two file are in the same project so i can't run the app file and the test file together. however it's true that that link don't work wen the test is running so what i do ? – Churchless

maybe you can try async but if you want to keep it simple just split your project – Balneal

how to do that you mean have two folder ? – Churchless

Because in the tutorial it work just fine ven they are in the same folder and the app file won't running – Churchless
