Are you sure Elasticsearch is running? I've just done this and it seemed to work fine.

Yes I have checked that on port 9200  
The output look like  
{  
"name" : "SS22",  
"cluster\_name" : "elasticsearch",  
"cluster\_uuid" : "XFsxgmJhSEeRL4xjFMOlcw",  
"version" : {  
"number" : "6.4.2",  
"build\_flavor" : "unknown",  
"build\_type" : "unknown",  
"build\_hash" : "04711c2",  
"build\_date" : "2018-09-26T13:34:09.098244Z",  
"build\_snapshot" : false,  
"lucene\_version" : "7.4.0",  
"minimum\_wire\_compatibility\_version" : "5.6.0",  
"minimum\_index\_compatibility\_version" : "5.0.0"  
},  
"tagline" : "You Know, for Search"  
}

Could you try refreshing the page while on the console dev tool and try again after verifying that Elasticsearch is running?

Could you also open the network tab of your browser's dev tools and paste the request/response here?

what about logs? can you show us what you're getting there especially while you're trying to perform that request?
