Hey @ligarcia10,

The error you received was since the local testing binary did not start. This could happen if you are behind a proxy and the local testing binary was unable to connect to Browserstack's infrastructure.

Check with your network team if traffic to *.browserstack.com is whitelisted on ports 80 and 443 and WebSocket traffic is allowed to pass through?

Can you also manually run the binary on your machine and share the console output?

1. Download the binary
   OS X (10.7 and above)
   Linux 32-bit
   Linux 64-bit
   Windows (XP and above)

2. Run it in the terminal/cmd prompt
   Mac OS/ Linux:
   ./BrowserStackLocal --key <BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY>
   Windows:
   BrowserStackLocal.exe --key <BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY>
