http://localhost:4444/wd/hub returns an exception in browser.

[John Peters]

Environment: C#, MSTest, Windows 10... I'm trying to create a new RemoteWebDriver instance as shown here:

var url = new Uri("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub");
var wd = new RemoteWebDriver(url, DesiredCapabilities.Chrome());

If I use Chrome to go to the url above, I see this...

{"status":13,"value":{"class":"java.lang.NullPointerException","stackTrace":[{"fileName":"ExternalSessionKey.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.internal.ExternalSessionKey","methodName":"fromWebDriverRequest","lineNumber":77},{"fileName":"WebDriverRequest.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.handler.WebDriverRequest","methodName":"extractSession","lineNumber":62},{"fileName":"RequestHandler.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.handler.RequestHandler","methodName":"getSession","lineNumber":231},{"fileName":"RequestHandler.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.handler.RequestHandler","methodName":"process","lineNumber":118},{"fileName":"DriverServlet.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.DriverServlet","methodName":"process","lineNumber":83},{"fileName":"DriverServlet.java","className":"org.openqa.grid.web.servlet.DriverServlet","methodName":"doGet","lineNumber":61},{"fileName":"HttpServlet.java","className":"javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet","methodName":"service","lineNumber":687},{"fileName":"HttpServlet.java","className":"javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet","methodName":"service","lineNumber":790},{"fileName":"ServletHolder.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.servlet.ServletHolder","methodName":"handle","lineNumber":808},{"fileName":"ServletHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.servlet.ServletHandler","methodName":"doHandle","lineNumber":587},{"fileName":"SessionHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.session.SessionHandler","methodName":"doHandle","lineNumber":221},{"fileName":"ContextHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.handler.ContextHandler","methodName":"doHandle","lineNumber":1127},{"fileName":"ServletHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.servlet.ServletHandler","methodName":"doScope","lineNumber":515},{"fileName":"SessionHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.session.SessionHandler","methodName":"doScope","lineNumber":185},{"fileName":"ContextHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.handler.ContextHandler","methodName":"doScope","lineNumber":1061},{"fileName":"ScopedHandler.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.handler.ScopedHandler","methodName":"handle","lineNumber":141},{"fileName":"HandlerWrapper.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.handler.HandlerWrapper","methodName":"handle","lineNumber":97},{"fileName":"Server.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.Server","methodName":"handle","lineNumber":499},{"fileName":"HttpChannel.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.HttpChannel","methodName":"handle","lineNumber":310},{"fileName":"HttpConnection.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.server.HttpConnection","methodName":"onFillable","lineNumber":257},{"fileName":"AbstractConnection.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.io.AbstractConnection$2","methodName":"run","lineNumber":540},{"fileName":"QueuedThreadPool.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool","methodName":"runJob","lineNumber":635},{"fileName":"QueuedThreadPool.java","className":"org.seleniumhq.jetty9.util.thread.QueuedThreadPool$3","methodName":"run","lineNumber":555},{"className":"java.lang.Thread","methodName":"run","lineNumber":-1}]}}

I started the hub with these command line arugments:

-jar "C:\Users\MyName\AppData\Roaming\Magenic\Selenium Grid Controller\selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar" -port 4444 -role hub

If I look at the console..

http://localhost:4444/grid/console

Everything shows up fine which means the Hub is running...

Is this stack trace telling me it can't find the selenium-server-standalone-3.0.1.jar file?

John,

You are seeing this error because the endpoint [http://localhost:4444/wd/hub] does not support a GET and expects a JSON Payload as part of a POST operation in order to process the request.  

That URL is not expected to be opened up in a browser [ doing so triggers a GET operation ] 

There's nothing wrong with your selenium server. All is well.

Please let us know if you are seeing any errors when running your automation tests.

Thanks & Regards
