Macaca App-Inspector + Appium + iOS : How to fix "Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8001"

Question

Question:

I am trying to launch an iOS app using app-inspector. It's failing and I can see error

Internal Server Error on webpage baseURL.

Getting below error:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:8001

Any one resolved this? If anyone is also facing same issue, please add your findings in comments.

Environment:

• iOS version : 10.2.1
• Mac iOS Version : 10.12 [macOS Sierra]
• Appium : 1.1.0-beta.2 or Appium1.6.5
• Xcode : 8.3.3

Answer 1

I faced similar issue:

• please open this /usr/local/lib/node_modules/app-inspector/node_modules/xctestwd/XCTestWD/XCTestWD.xcodeproj in xcode
• under signin, please mention your developer id, and change the bundle id name also

• then navigate to the folder and run this command:

  xcodebuild -project XCTestWD.xcodeproj -scheme XCTestWDUITests -destination 'platform=iOS,id=(your device name)' XCTESTWD_PORT=8001 clean test 
  

  It will install the xctestwd on port 8001

• start u r App-inspector -u udid

It will work.

Finally, It started working for me!

1. Clean & Build your 3 projects [Your actual targeted automation project + WebDriverAgent + XCTest]
2. Verify Team ID is correct and Profiles are valid
3. Crosscheck your Macaca installation on your machine
4. Run app-inspector -u YOUR-DEVICE-ID Refer_link
