Execute web Test on a particular selenium 4 grid nodes

[remyanekkuth]

Hi @wakaleo

Recently we migrated to selenium 4 and would like to have a capability to run test on a particular node.
eg : we have environment integration where we have 5 nodes registered and available in console. I would like to run test on a particular node (eg : node A) rather than picking random.

Right now our run configuration looks like this :
-Denvironment=integ -Dwebdriver.driver=remote -Dwebdriver.remote.driver=edge

How to pass the node id through the run configuration ?

How would you do this in plain Selenium?

@wakaleo Right now we are not doing this even with selenium 3.
we tried to pass some capabilities from properties and run, but it didn’t work well that time with custom driver capabilities.

Appreciate suggestions on how can I hit particular node through configuration.

that's not how you use the grid, right? you let the hub decide which node to pick.
though this answer suggests you can pick the node by setting the remote url

a similar question is unanswered

[wakaleo]

All the W3C and driver-specific capabilities go in the capabilities section (https://serenity-bdd.github.io/docs/guide/driver_config#specifying-w3c-properties) where they are passed as-is. However if you need to provide a custom remote URL that is different each time, you could try implementing the ProvidesRemoteWebdriverUrl interface.

@wakaleo if there is any example you can point out about implementing ProvidesRemoteWebdriverUrl
