Hi I am trying to launch a browser and navigate to any URL. The firefox
or chormedrivers are invoked and suddenly closed throwing the following
error:
in `rescue in block in connect’: Failed to open TCP connection to
https:80 (getaddrinfo: No such host is known. ) (SocketError)

require ‘watir-webdriver’

$driver=Watir::Browser.new :firefox
$driver.driver.manage.timeouts.implicit_wait=10
$driver.goto “https://www.google.com/”

Can anyone suggest what might be the issue?
