I’m wondering it this issue should really be closed - it occurs to us with every testcafe version we were using so far. We’re hosting our app using npm package ‘http-server’ on localhost, so there is no way it’s DNS or connectivity issue.
As for others it’s around 5% of cases.
I just hit this - the error message is unhelpful since it suggests a DNS problem, when actually it is a connectivity issue. I changed my host to
127.0.0.1and it still said there was a DNS problem.
