Today, in this write-up, I am going to share the resolution of an issue which is not a frequent one and will not come rapidly, but yeah I have seen this issue while working with the Selenium grid, so I am sharing this with you all.

Steps which I have taken when I got this issue

  1. Step1 Start selenium grid hub 

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar -role hub

  1. Step2 Start a node 

java -Dwebdriver.chrome.driver=E:chromedriver.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.4.0.jar -role node -hub http://192.168.1.XX:4444/grid/register

  1. Step 3 Start executing test scripts.

  2. Step4 You will get the above error.

Solution

You will get this error only and only when some other Virtual Private Network is connected on your machine. Such that there is some conflict in the IP which is causing the problems in re-directions of requests.

So to avoid this Error make sure you are not on any VPN connectivity, or for that matter, if you want to work on VPN then make sure you are providing the whole IP(192.168.1.23) rather than Host-name(localhost or MyMachine, etc).

Once you will apply any of the above steps then, you can easily get rid of this issue. This worked for me, I will be more than happy to answer your queries/feedback/revert over the same.
