Hi,

I was following tendermint tutorial in using counter.js as abci.

> **[Getting Started | Tendermint Core](https://docs.tendermint.com/master/app-dev/getting-started.html#counter-another-example)**

However, the blocks did not start streaming and this error is shown

what might be the issue here?

Thanks!
