Laravel Dusk - Failed to connect to localhost port 9515: Connection refused

Question

I want to create a test which I will use from Controller so I write:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers\Modules;
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Laravel\Dusk\ElementResolver;
use Exception;

use Facebook\WebDriver\Chrome\ChromeOptions;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\DesiredCapabilities;
use Facebook\WebDriver\Remote\RemoteWebDriver;
use Laravel\Dusk\Browser;
use Laravel\Dusk\Chrome\ChromeProcess;

class TestController extends Controller {



  public function test() {

    $process = (new ChromeProcess)->toProcess();
    if ($process->isStarted()) {
      $process->stop();
    }
    $process->start();

    $options      = (new ChromeOptions)->addArguments(['--disable-gpu', '--headless', '--no-sandbox']);
    $capabilities = DesiredCapabilities::chrome()
      ->setCapability(ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $options);

          $driver = retry(1, function () use ($capabilities) {
      return RemoteWebDriver::create('http://localhost:9515', $capabilities, 60000, 60000);
    }, 50);

    $browser = new Browser($driver, new ElementResolver($driver, ''));
    $browser->resize(1920, 1080);
    $browser->visit('https://example.com/login')->click('#.btn > form > div.auth-form-body.mt-3 > input.btn.btn-primary.btn-block');
    $browser->driver->takeScreenshot(base_path('tests/Browser/screenshots/logged.png'));

  }


}

When I run this script using localhost:8000/test I got this message:

Facebook \ WebDriver \ Exception \ WebDriverCurlException Curl error thrown for http POST to /session with params: {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","platform":"ANY","chromeOptions":{"binary":"","args":["--disable-gpu","--headless","--no-sandbox"]}}} Failed to connect to localhost port 9515: Connection refused

How I can solve this problem?

Current I use WAMP server on Win10 for local testing but then I will move the code on Linux Ubuntu 18.

I've spent the last 3 days trying to solve very similar. I have not found a solution that works for me :( — Watercayman
For running Dusk in controllers, I've used - github.com/duncan3dc/dusk . I didn't dig into his code but it works pretty nicely — senty

I can't fully explain it, but this works for me on Windows:

$process = (new ChromeProcess)->toProcess();
if ($process->isStarted()) {
  $process->stop();
}

$process->start(null, [
    'SystemRoot' => 'C:\\WINDOWS',
    'TEMP' => 'C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Temp',
]);

[...]

Replace <User> with the name of your user directory.
