Capybara Connection Refused

Question

I am using Capybara with Selenium in Ruby (not within a testing framework.)

If I open a ruby console and run the method, it works, but if i then run the same method again I get this error.

    Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused - connect(2)

The code is like the following:

class ExampleClass
  include Capybara::DSL

  def do_capybara

    Capybara.app_host =  "http://example.com"
    Capybara.run_server = false
    Capybara.current_driver = :selenium

    visit '/'

    page.driver.browser.close

    Capybara.reset_sessions!
  end

Could you tried after set some default time.

Capybara.default_wait_time = 10

Just give this comment after set the current driver. It may help you to overcome from the issue.
