I have been trying to learn Docker by creating a Docker container for Standalone-Firefox browser and connecting it using Selenium RemoteWebDriver.

I have installed a docker image and made sure it is running. I am trying to access Google.com and print the title.

However, I am getting "Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.remote.UnreachableBrowserException: Could not start a new session. Possible causes are invalid address of the remote server or browser start-up failure." error.

Docker Image is correctly setup

https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/docker-selenium

![Docker image is running successfully](E:\Udemy Courses\SDET Architect\Successful Docker Running.JPG)

package dockerValidation;

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.RemoteWebDriver;

public class ChromeStandAloneTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

        URL url = new URL("http://localhost:4444/wd/hub");      
        // Static Class named DesiredCapabilities is used. No need to create object
        DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

        // RemoteWebDriver to run test on Cloud, Docker, etc
        RemoteWebDriver rwd = new RemoteWebDriver(url, capabilities);

        rwd.get("http://google.com");
        System.out.println(rwd.getTitle());
    }
}

Expected Result (Eclipse Console)

May 15, 2019 6:36:39 PM org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities firefox INFO: Using new FirefoxOptions() is preferred to DesiredCapabilities.firefox() May 15, 2019 6:36:55 PM org.openqa.selenium.remote.ProtocolHandshake createSession INFO: Detected Dialect: OSS Google

Actual Result

I had the same, restarting docker helped me. Not the best solution, but it works.
