IE11 test runs if specified direct node ip but fails when grid hub url specified

Asked 21/1, 2018 at 10:56 Answered 23/1, 2018 at 15:51

I use nodejs selenium-standalone and I have:

1) selenium-standalone running on Mac with role=hub

2) selenium-standalone running on Mac with role=node (to run tests on local Mac browsers)

3) Windows 10 installed on parallels desktop with selenium-standalone running with role=node

4) IE11 is configured regarding this article https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/wiki/InternetExplorerDriver#required-configuration

I have gridUrl config in my test (yandex gemini) and when I set it to windows node url (http://10.211.55.4:5555/wd/hub) IE11 test works fine. But when I set gridUrl to correct value (means local grid hub 127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub) then IE11 opens stuck at "This is the initial start page for the WebDriver server." and "Only local connections are allowed" in the console. All other windows browsers in this case work fine (chrome, firefox, edge). No any errors in mac selenium grid hub console or in windows selenium node console - seems like grid hub somehow incorrectly trying to call windows node IEDriver.

Command to start selenium:

1) MacOS hub:

java -jar 3.8.1-server.jar -role hub

2) Windows10 node:

java -jar 3.8.1-server.jar -role node -hub http://192.168.1.4:4444/grid/register

After this, I can see all nodes and browsers on MacOS http://127.0.0.1:4444/grid/console.

I use selenium 3.8.1, IEdriver x64 3.8.0

Can you update the question with the commands you have used to start the HUB and NODE along with your code trials? – Auramine 21/1, 2018 at 11:2

@DebanjanB sure, done. Test code is actually useless in this case because it is gemini library which uses commands like .setUrl and .capture to capture screenshot from page (inside it opens the url and calls takeScreenshot). – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 11:43

please give the error message – Gallard 21/1, 2018 at 12:18

@Gallard ok I edited the post. But as I mentioned - the are no actual errors. I guess that problem is network-related or something like that. – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 13:16

little confuse, from my experience, you should use the actual IP address of the Mac for grid hub url, rather than 127.0.0.1, If your script not on the Mac, script should not access 127.0.0.1. But from the Mac grid hub terminal output, seems grid hub recevie the request from script machine success. Did you also put script on the Mac grid machine? – Gallard 21/1, 2018 at 13:29

@Gallard yes, I run test script from same Mac machine - so it is 127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub. I am confused too because can't even see some error or anything like that :). I want to mention again - when I use IP of windows selenium node directly without passing request to Mac selenium grid hub - everything works fine without any problem. – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 13:41

And I very curious how did you make hub/nodes access each other through network, because your Mac hub IP address 192.168.1..4 looks like a internal address, Windows node IP address 10.211.55.4 looks like a public address, And you set grid hub address to 127.0.0.1 – Gallard 21/1, 2018 at 13:42

@Gallard ah this depends just on network type of parallers desktop - that was "Shared Network". I just changed it to "Bridged" and now windows machine host is 192.168.1.5 - but anyways problem is still here. Btw when I run Mac local selenium node - grid browser GUI shows its address as 10.37.129.2:5555 (again - grid hub and grid node are running at the same machine). I guess it is something like network alias. – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 13:50

Please give the entire register command you run on Windows, you can mask ip adderess like <hub address> – Gallard 21/1, 2018 at 13:50

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar -role node -hub 192.168.1.4:4444/grid/register – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 13:51

stop the register cmd and try

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar -role node -hub 192.168.1.4:4444/grid/register -browser "browserName=internet explorer" -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=<replace to the absolute path of your iedriver.exe on Windows machine>

– Gallard 21/1, 2018 at 14:3

Tried - same result – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 14:45

@Gallard ok I have enabled debug mode on node so now we have detailed log on what is happening – Thunderclap 21/1, 2018 at 19:22

@Thunderclap - Can you please include a screenshot of the Hub console, and also explicitly call out the commands you are using to start the hub and nodes ? Please prefix the OS type before the node commands so that its clear on what OS you are running the node from. This is a very straight forward use case. So obviously there's something missing which is pretty basic. – Amaryl 22/1, 2018 at 4:8

@KrishnanMahadevan ok I edited the post. I have provided exact commands which I run and full screenshots from hub and node (without debug flag because there is too much text which can't fit to the viewport). – Thunderclap 22/1, 2018 at 7:43

@Thunderclap - Please include a screenshot of the html page that gets shown when you open up http://127.0.0.1:4444/grid/console – Amaryl 22/1, 2018 at 16:10

@KrishnanMahadevan done – Thunderclap 22/1, 2018 at 16:58

I can clearly see there is some mismatch in your Selenium Grid Hub configuration and the Selenium Grid Node registering to the Selenium Grid Hub as follows :

Selenium Grid Hub log says :

Nodes should register to http://10.37.129.2:4444/grid/register/

Selenium Grid Node log says :

Registering the node to the hub: http://192.168.1.4:4444/grid/register

Additionally, when you are starting the node to work with IEDriverServer and Internet Explorer but you have used the default command as :

java -jar 3.8.1-server.jar -role node -hub http://192.168.1.4:4444/grid/register

which is the exact reason you don't see INFO - Detected dialect: W3C in the FAILED usecase as follows :

Where as you need to mention the WebDriver variant which you intend to use as follows :

java -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=IEDriverServer.exe -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar -role node -hub http://192.168.1.50:4444/grid/register

So your log messages will contain :

Started InternetExplorerDriver server (64-bit)
3.7.0.0
Listening on port 18597
Only local connections are allowed
20:31:59.237 INFO - Detected dialect: W3C

20:31:59.663 INFO - To upstream: {"url":"http://google.com/"}

You can see the detailed discussion here where Doug Simmons clearly mentions :

The server (grid node) needs to be started with the system property -- not the client i.e. you need to point the node to the geckodriver installation on the node

Solution

Follow the mentioned steps to configure the Selenium Grid Hub and Selenium Grid Node :

Start the Selenium Grid Hub :

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.8.1.jar -role hub

Ok, I have read carefully your solution and this is fully repeating what I do except IP address of grid hub using for registering the node. Ok, I changed this address to "correct" (which grid hub console shows) and nothing changed - same problem as described in my post. Also described "mismatch" didn't affect node registration to the hub as you can see on my screenshots. So still unresolved – Thunderclap 27/1, 2018 at 11:4

Its clear you are still overstepping. You program is clearly missing to detect the dialect as W3C variant. – Auramine 27/1, 2018 at 11:35

But in both cases node console shows me "INFO - Detected dialect: W3C". You can see this in my post's console outputs for success/fail cases. – Thunderclap 28/1, 2018 at 14:22

Check out the answer update and let me know the status. – Auramine 28/1, 2018 at 14:51

Ok I tried to add -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=IEDriverServer.exe but nothing changed.There is no need to specify path to the ie driver because I put it before to the Windows dir (which is in PATH var). And if node would not found iedriver it would not be able event to run it. – Thunderclap 29/1, 2018 at 17:59

Added more description. Let me know the status. – Auramine 30/1, 2018 at 3:11

Assuming that you can start IE node on Hub machine (Hub and IE node on same physical machine works), I believe the problem could be due to dynamic/ephemeral port communication between IE node machine and Hub machine. Can you start your IE node with -port option and see that the port is open from your Network team. Then tell us the logs you get. Command to start IE node with port (<portno> eg: 5793, if the port is open) option: java -jar <seleniumserverjarfilename.jar> -role node -hub http://<hubip>:4444/grid/register -port <portno> – Microcrystalline 30/1, 2018 at 9:34

Wait, "Write a basic program and execute from the Selenium Grid Node" - why to run from node? I am trying to run the test from same machine where the hub is running! I don't want to run the tests under the Windows machine, I want to run them from mac os machine – Thunderclap 6/2, 2018 at 10:36

And why to set iedriver path in the test? I guess that -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=IEDriverServer.exe is enough – Thunderclap 6/2, 2018 at 10:42

Ok I tried another thing - Now I run hub at windows machine and node at windows machine (same machine of course). Hub is running at ip:4444/wd/hub and node is running at ip:5556/wd/hub. Run test with hub url specified (4444) - ie11 opens stucked at "This is the initial start page for the WebDriver server.". Run test with node url specified (5556) - everything works fine. No any specific error - only " Found handler: org.openqa.selenium.remote.server.commandhandler.BeginSession@2243ca" is missing when run via the hub (4444) – Thunderclap 6/2, 2018 at 11:8
