How I encountered this error

  1. Step1 Start selenium grid hub 

 java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role hub

  1. Step2 Start executing test scripts.

  2. Step3 You will get the above error.

Solution

  1. You does not have any node in the selenium grid whole set up.

  2. Start command prompt from your local or some machine and execute this command 

 java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.41.0.jar -role node -hub http://<hub-ip>:<hub-port>/grid/register

  1. Now run your tests again.

  2. They should run fine.

Conclusion

  1. To run your test scripts on a selenium grid network, you require a minimum of 1 hub and 1 node. So as to run your test scripts.

  2. Hub is responsible to take care of navigating your test scripts to the desired environment combination. And node will actually run your test scripts.
