java.net.ConnectException: Failed to connect to localhost error with Selenium 3.11.0 with IEDriverServer and IE 11 on Windows 10

Question

I am very new to selenium and trying to set up selenium in my laptop to begin. I am unable to invoke IE from my simple code. The details are given below. Can you please help

Answer 1

The issue in our case was not specific to Jenkins but the Chrome Driver crashing under the VMs where our automation tests run.

If you log into your VM machine and where your workspace have been copied into, and under the terminal run the same maven command you have on Jenkins you should be able to watch the tests run and this may be a way for you to identify and fix the issue.
