Runner::call: socket of context -1 is null

Question

Squish IDE fails to run our test script. The AUT is found and starts to run but during the app init Squish outputs error. The script has worked fine before and the app runs properly when started from terminal. Qt is 5.1.1 and Squish is for that version. How to fix this issue?

This could be the indication of that the squishserver is not running and could not be started by the Squish IDE. Make sure you start it with bin/squishserver command from your Squish installation directory or configure the IDE to start it automatically from the "Preferences" dialog.
