Any clue on what could break?

Hi @dmitry-lomakin,
I am glad you are trying this out, here are my suggestions:

S1: Are you in VPN? Sometimes I have seen this happening when using it with VPN, try disconnecting from VPN.
S2: Try increasing the value of timeout_seconds attribute in AWS ALB. I modified timeout_seconds attribute in my load balancer and you can do the same by following the below steps:

AWS Console —> EC2 —> Load Balancer —> Select the load balancer —> Action —> Edit attributes
Update the value of Idle timeout to 4000 (thats the max value).

After the updates, I ran 40 concurrent session of sample test case that's checked in part of the GitHub repo, in a loop and I could see at-least one session running in each of these nodes.

Test batch 1 (20 concurrent run - in view):

Test batch 2 (20 concurrent run - in view):

Grid console:

Hope this helps. Thanks

This same error occurs for me too.

Not using a VPN

ALB timeout is 60 seconds. Error occurs within 5 or 6 seconds of running the test.

Using this project gives a remoteHost of 'null'

Looks like the data nodes are not getting registered to master node. Ideally, when the data node starts up, it will use the below environment properties and startup commands to register itself to the master node:

env: {
      HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_ADDR: options.loadBalancer.loadBalancerDnsName,
      HUB_PORT_4444_TCP_PORT: '4444',
      NODE_MAX_INSTANCES: this.seleniumNodeMaxInstances.toString(),
      NODE_MAX_SESSION: this.seleniumNodeMaxSessions.toString(),
      SE_OPTS: '-debug',
      shm_size: '512',
  },

PRIVATE=$(curl -s http://169.254.170.2/v2/metadata | jq -r '.Containers[1].Networks[0].IPv4Addresses[0]') ; export REMOTE_HOST=\"http://$PRIVATE:5555\" ; /opt/bin/entry_point.sh

Can you check the logs of the data nodes to see for any errors?

I'm getting the same errors, but seeing nothing on the logs other than the fact that the remoteHost url is null:

To me, this suggests this line https://github.com/aws-samples/run-selenium-tests-at-scale-using-ecs-fargate/blob/main/lib/index.js#L135 is failing to read the ip address correctly and thus returning a broken host. But I haven't been able to debug it yet, I'll try to figure it out tomorrow, but if someone already knows the answer (or I'm totally misled), I'd appreciate them sharing it.

uorbe001 · 2024-03-06T10:34:48Z

Forgot to update this, but I managed to get this working by replacing the aforementioned line of code with:
command: ["PRIVATE=$(curl -s $ECS_CONTAINER_METADATA_URI_V4 | jq -r '.Networks[0].IPv4Addresses[0]') ; export REMOTE_HOST=\"http://$PRIVATE:5555\" ; /opt/bin/entry_point.sh"],
