SessionNotCreatedException for RemoteWebDriver

Support
1

Try to run some appium tests in remote appium server

static String HUB_URL = “http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub”;
driver2 = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(HUB_URL), capabilities);

but I see this error:
org.openqa.selenium.SessionNotCreatedException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure.

The selenium grid nodes are up and running on Linux like in this picture:

hi, did you pass the url right? Is the machine you’re pointing to active?

Yes, I can see the nodes in the hub here: “http://ie1-abc12-qa.qa.xxx:4444/wd/hub”;

Have you checked that the remote Appium server is running correctly and that there are no problems starting the server?

@BeforeClass
void beforeClass(@Optional(“platform”) String platform) throws MalformedURLException {
platform = “ios”;
setIosSwiftCaps();
startServer(4723, “127.0.0.1”);
setDriver(platform, “http://127.0.0.1:4723”);
}

public void setIosSwiftCaps() {
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "15.5");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone 12 Pro Max");
    String appUrlIos = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/app/swift/xxx.app";
    capabilities.setCapability("app", appUrlIos);
}

public static void startServer(int appiumPort, String appiumIP) {
    AppiumServiceBuilder builder;
    log.info("Building and starting the server:");
    builder = new AppiumServiceBuilder();
    builder.withIPAddress(appiumIP);
    builder.usingPort(appiumPort);
    builder.withCapabilities(capabilities);

    builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE);
    builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "debug");
    service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(builder);
    service.start();
    log.info("Server started on Port - " + appiumPort + " & IP:" + appiumIP);
}

public void setDriver(String testPlatform, String url) throws MalformedURLException {
    if ("ios".equals(testPlatform)) {
        System.out.println("------------ios------------");
        driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(url), capabilities);
    } else {
        System.out.println("------------android------------");
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(url), capabilities);
    }

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(20));
    wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
}

public void setDriver(String testPlatform, String url) throws MalformedURLException {
    if ("ios".equals(testPlatform)) {
        System.out.println("------------ios------------");
        driver = new AppiumDriver(new URL(url), capabilities);
    } else {
        System.out.println("------------android------------");
        driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(url), capabilities);
    }

    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(Duration.ofSeconds(20));
    wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, Duration.ofSeconds(10));
}

I use this setup to run the tests locally with appium, I want to run the test remote .

this is how i run my test in remote

else if(config.getProperty("browser").equals("remote")){
    			ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        		options.addArguments("--disable-notifications");

        		options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");

        		options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");

        		options.addArguments("--no-sandbox");

        		options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");

        		options.addArguments("--remote-allow-origins=*");
    		try {
				driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL("http://xxx.xx.x.xxx:4444/wd/hub"),options);
			} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
				// TODO Auto-generated catch block
				e.printStackTrace();
			}

For remote I think I must use RemoteWebDriver with HUB_URL

public void setIosCapsRemote() throws MalformedURLException {
 
    capabilities.setPlatform(Platform.LINUX);
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "iOS");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "15.5");
  //  capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.AUTOMATION_NAME, "XCUITest");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "iPhone 12 Pro Max");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, "Safari");

    String appUrlIos = System.getProperty("user.dir") + "/src/app//........../xxx.app";
    capabilities.setCapability("app", appUrlIos);

    driver2 = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(HUB_URL), capabilities);
    driver2.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(2, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

}
