Laravel dusk chrome driver timeout

Question

Can anyone help, I am unable to get Laravel dusk to run the default sample test in my current Laravel 5.6 project on mac high sierra.

Error message

Time: 2.5 minutes, Memory: 14.00MB

There was 1 error:

1) Tests\Browser\ExampleTest::testBasicExample Facebook\WebDriver\Exception\WebDriverCurlException: Curl error thrown for http POST to /session with params: {"desiredCapabilities":{"browserName":"chrome","platform":"ANY","chromeOptions":{"binary":"/Users/keith/Desktop/dusk/vendor/laravel/dusk/bin/chromedriver-mac","args":["--disable-gpu"]}}}

I have already done the following :

• added the following to app\Providers\AppServiceProvider.php

use Laravel\Dusk\DuskServiceProvider;

...

public function register()

{

    if ($this->app->environment('local', 'testing')) {

        $this->app->register(DuskServiceProvider::class);
    }

}

• ran 'php artisan dusk:install' in terminal
• set App_URL in .env to http://localhost:8000
• specified the location of chromedriver in DuskTestCase
• start 'php artisan serve' before running 'php artisan dusk'

If your function extends from DuskTestCase.php, then you need to increase connection_timeout_in_ms.

Do this by changing driver method to the following:

DuskTestCase.php

protected function driver()
    {
        $options = (new ChromeOptions)->addArguments([
            '--disable-gpu',
            '--headless',
            '--window-size=1920,1080',
        ]);

        return RemoteWebDriver::create(
            'http://localhost:9515', DesiredCapabilities::chrome()->setCapability(
                ChromeOptions::CAPABILITY, $options
            ), 90000, 90000
        );
    }

If that dosen't work for some reason then try to set_time_limit before $this->browse

set_time_limit(0);
