Error: connect ECONNREFUSED when integration testing a Node.js app
In an express.js app that I was integration testing using Mocha the tests suddenly started acting weird with complaint such as:
"before all" hook: Error: connect ECONNREFUSED
Turned out the root cause was a test method that should have been asynchronous wasn't, it was declared as function() instead of function(done). Pretty obvious in hindsight but with an error message like that it took a while to locate.
