Steps to reproduce -

created a hub on hum machine : - java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0.jar -role hub.

created a node on remote machine :- java -Dwebdriver.server.session.timeout=864000000 -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0.jar -role webdriver -hub http://10.180.32.62: 4444/grid/register -port 4444 -browser browserName=firefox,maxInstances=2 -browser browserName=chrome,maxInstances=2 -browser browserName=iexplore,maxInstances=2 -maxSession 2

node is registed with the hud, verified it on console.

code in Main method including all packages :- DesiredCapabilities cap =DesiredCapabilities.firefox(); cap.setBrowserName(“firefox”); cap.setPlatform(Platform.ANY); cap.setVersion(“46.0”);

     //RemoteWebDriver d = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://localhost:4444/"),cap);
     URL TESTURL = new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub");

    WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(TESTURL, cap);

Reading a different thread, I found a similar error. The solution was to remove the -role hub part and it should work.

This’s the thread. https://github.com/angular/protractor/issues/1226

@mrchacon , thanks your recommendation for removing -role hub works for me. I am using CentOS 6.8 and its a VPS currently hosting websites for me, I am running selenium 3.0.1. for selenium remote standalone server with phantomjs (headless) and created a c# .net client that connects and browse to website…

I have written all the above, so that anyone else trying to achieve things like me can get help…
