Selenium Grid Unable to create new service: GeckoDriverService

[angelasqa9]

Running tests in parallel on a windows node and a mac node using selenium grid would pass all tests but fail to run and skip the first test FilterMoreResultsBySquareFeet for either the Mac Firefox browser or the Windows Firefox browser. It keeps throwing this error 

org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Unable to create new service: GeckoDriverService

I am using latest java, latest selenium driver, latest browser driver, and lastest browser version. I have all drivers in the same folder I start my json selenium grid files from and my code system property is pointed to that same folder. I also have set the folder in the path in environment variables in windows and also in the path on the mac. Has anyone encountered this error and how did you solve it?
