Any idea why am I seeing this error.

[dmettem]

This error is when you use an older version of ZAP than what is expected. I guess, the minimum version to be used now is ZAP 2.4.3.

[lfatty]

@dmettem I do not think so because I am running the default zap which comes with the framework.

[iriusrisk]

Before that output there is an additional INFO log stating the port that ZAP is listening on:

4835 [ZAP-daemon] INFO org.zaproxy.zap.DaemonBootstrap - ZAP is now listening on 127.0.0.1:55759

Can you start the framework up in a debugger and then put a breakpoint just before the first API call to ZAP? Then you can manually make a connection to the ZAP port to verify that it is listening.

Did you resolve this problem @lfatty ?

@continuumsecurity, I increased CONNECTION_TIMEOUT = 150000; //milliseconds. So far it seems to be working fine but i will keep eyes on it.
