SocketError: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known --> error while running test case

Rails

Hi all,

I am getting the below error when I try to run my test case. I have
already started selenium RC server (port:4444)… Also I have specified
" 127.0.0.1 localhost " in /etc/hosts …

:ruby test1.rb
Loaded suite test1
Started
E
Finished in 0.022698 seconds.

  1. Error:
    testfestool(Test1):
    SocketError: getaddrinfo: Name or service not known

    test1.rb:27:in `setup’

The code am using for connection is:

require “rubygems”
require “selenium/client”
require “test/unit”

class Test1 < Test::Unit::TestCase
def setup
@verification_errors = []

 @selenium = Selenium::Client::Driver.new \
    :host => "http://127.0.0.1",
    :port => 4444,
    :browser => "*firefox",
    :url => "http://www.google.com/",
    :timeout_in_second =>60

 #start browser session
 @selenium.start
 @selenium.set_context("test1")

end

def teardown
@selenium.stop
assert_equal [], @verification_errors
end

Let me know if you need any other additional information. Thanks for
your help in advance :slight_smile: …
