Cannot connect to Chrome: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:9222

I keep getting this error and I have tried all the examples, the suggestions from the other issues pulled this is what I get

I am running it on Node 6.9.2 - Windows 10 also tried on Node 4.2.6 Ubuntu 16.04

Both get the same errors

I have to ask, have you started Chrome with the --remote-debugging-port=9222 option?

You can verify that with:

curl http://localhost:9222/json

you can even load that URL with any browser, you should see a JSON array.

So the issue is when I try to SSH to the machine I get errors that Gtx: cannot open display:

If I am on it physically all works as expected

Chrome cannot start without X (on Linux), options are:

• forward the X connection with ssh -X;
• use a fake X frame buffer: Xvfb;
• use the brand new --headless option (since version 58 I think).

I'm closing this as I think I clarified your issue. Feel free to reopen it if needed.

Hey, so it worked, I finally got the X Frame buffer to work

Thanks again!
