Hi users,

I am facing this error with my selenium grid setup.

client code fails with the following error:
com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR: ERROR: No
sessionId provided. Most likely your original newBrowserSession
command failed.

com.thoughtworks.selenium.HttpCommandProcessor.doCommand(HttpCommandProcessor.java:

Exception in thread "main"

if i look at the server log, it says :
