ECONNREFUSED connect when running Selenium-webdriver

Question

I am trying see the actual html content before being rendered by the browser. So I am using selenium-webdriver in node.js.

Here's my code and the error I'm getting:

Code

var webdriver = require('selenium-webdriver'); 
var driver = new webdriver.Builder().
usingServer('http://localhost:4444/wd/hub').
withCapabilities(webdriver.Capabilities.chrome()).
build();
driver.get('http://www.example.com/example/abc');
driver.getPageSource().then(function(html) {
  console.log(html);
  return true;
});
driver.quit();

Error

      throw error;
            ^

I know this is an old post, but for anyone whose issue was not solved by the only answer, I solved this by including `await` before `driver.actions()` — avisk, Sep 01 '22 at 19:09

That means webserver is not running. Try running webdriver-manager start --standalone in a new command line window or tab
