I was trying to setup remote webdriver to run my tests in remote computer, as my application is deployed to my localhost. Using Selenium RC I used host address to run those tests and it worked fine; but I'm having trouble setting up the base class using remote webdriver. I've tried the following code but it has not worked. By the way, I had selenium tests which I am migrating to remote webdriver. I tried webdriver which works fine but couldn't setup the remote webdriver for remote execution. Any help will be appreciated.
public static String base_url = "http://localhost:8084";
Proxy proxy = new Proxy();
proxy.setProxyAutoconfigUrl(base_url);
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
capabilities.setCapability(CapabilityType.PROXY, proxy);
RemoteWebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(capabilities);
selenium = new WebDriverBackedSelenium(driver, base_url);
Sample grid 2 code which works for firefox but doesn't work on IE9
String hubURL = "http://myip:4444/wd/hub";
DesiredCapabilities capability = DesiredCapabilities.internetExplorer();
//capability.setBrowserName("internet explorer");
//capability.setPlatform("WINDOWS");
//capability.setVersion("9.0.4");
WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(hubURL), capability);
driver.get("http://www.google.com");
WebElement element = driver.findElement(By.name("q"));
element.sendKeys("Cheese!");
element.submit();
driver.quit();
Error I was receiving when it's IE9 though I specified IE from command mode from node:
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: Error forwarding the new session cannot find : {platform=WINDOWS, ensureCleanSession=true, browserName=internet explorer, version=}

This is how I got rid of the error:
WebDriverException: Error forwarding the new session cannot find : {platform=WINDOWS, ensureCleanSession=true, browserName=internet explorer, version=11}
In your nodeconfig.json, the version must be a String, not an integer.
So instead of using "version": 11
use "version": "11"
(note the double quotes).
A full example of a working nodecondig.json file for a RemoteWebDriver:
{
"capabilities":
[
{
"platform": "WIN8_1",
"browserName": "internet explorer",
"maxInstances": 1,
"seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
"version": "11"
}
,{
"platform": "WIN7",
"browserName": "chrome",
"maxInstances": 4,
"seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
"version": "40"
}
,{
"platform": "LINUX",
"browserName": "firefox",
"maxInstances": 4,
"seleniumProtocol": "WebDriver"
"version": "33"
}
],
"configuration":
{
"proxy": "org.openqa.grid.selenium.proxy.DefaultRemoteProxy",
"maxSession": 3,
"port": 5555,
"host": ip,
"register": true,
"registerCycle": 5000,
"hubPort": 4444,
"hubHost": {your-ip-address}
}
}
-jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role hub
Java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.44.0.jar -role webdriver -hub http://HubmachineIPAddress:4444/grid/register -port 5566
One more thing is that whenever we use Internet Explore or Google Chrome we need to set: System.setProperty("webdriver.ie.driver",path);
This issue came for me due to the fact that .. i was running server with selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0 and client registered with selenium-server-standalone-2.37.0 .. When i made both selenium-server-standalone-2.32.0 and ran then things worked fine
By Default the InternetExplorerDriver listens on port "5555". Change your huburl to match that. you can look on the cmd box window to confirm.
