startChromedriver won't work #15

I keep on getting:

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9515

After googling, this is presumably a problem with the startChromedriver method. It happens both with cabbie-sync and cabbie-async.

The code is:

import assert from 'assert';
import cabbie, { startChromedriver } from 'cabbie-sync';

// Start the chromedriver server, this provides a local selenium server
// You must install chromedriver to use this.
startChromedriver();

// connect to chromedriver, adding {debug: true} makes cabbie log each method call.
const driver = cabbie('chromedriver', { debug: true });

try {
  // navigate to a url in the currently active window
  driver.browser.activeWindow.navigateTo('http://example.com');

  // get an element, and check that its text equals some expected value
  assert.equal(
    driver.browser.activeWindow.getElement('h1').getText(),
    'Example Domain',
  );
} catch(e) {
  console.log(e);
} finally {
  // whether tests pass or fail, dispose of the driver
  driver.dispose();
}

it works fine with taxi-rank.

Yes, I think the chromedriver npm package may have stopped working reliably. I'm not sure what's causing this. I think the best way to resolve this might just be to download chromedriver separately (from https://chromedriver.storage.googleapis.com/index.html?path=2.29/) and then run it in a separate terminal, manually.
