Could not connect to UI error in Jenkins

HI,

I am getting the below error in jenkins while executing e2e.

I'm experiencing a similar problem. I think the "UI" part in the message comes from the folder name "Angular UI Toolkit" in your path to the jenkins job. I'm having a similar issue when trying to run browserstack local, where my path also contain spaces. So I think there's some issue with handling paths which contain spaces. In my case, I'm getting: "Could not connect to Win7!" and Win7 is a part of the path where the script is executing.

My logs (similar to yours):

I am having the same issue with Jenkins installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Jenkins in windows 😞

Any solution for this yet?
