Hello,
are you talking about grid1 or Grid2 ? What kind of admin task are you talking about
?

thanks

It would be good enhancement to Grid2, one of the task might be to change the DNS on
the machine to point to a certain environment. 

Hello,
if I understand your requirement correctly, you should be able to do it with grid as
it is today by implementing the TestSessionListener


public class DNSChangeProxy extends WebDriverRemoteProxy implements TestSessionListener
{

    public DNSChangeProxy(RegistrationRequest request) {
        super(request);
    }


    @Override
    public void beforeSession(TestSession session) {
        super.beforeSession(session);

        // need to change the DNS on the host.
        URL nodeURL = session.getSlot().getProxy().getRemoteURL();
        String host = nodeURL.getHost();

        // ssh to host, do the DNS change. 
        // do some network validation.
        // 1) make sure the connectivity to the hub isn't impacted by the DNS change.
        // 2) take other tests into consideration. If 5 other tests are running on that node,
the DNS change will impact them too
    }

    @Override
    public void afterSession(TestSession session) {
        super.afterSession(session);
        // reset DNS.
    }

and when you register your node, -role webdriver -proxy com.company.DNSChangeProxy

Is it the kind of mechanism you need ?

thanks,
François

Hello,

in addition, you should be able to get the host  using the hub API.
/grid/api/testsession?session=your web driver session will give you a json object containing
some info about the session, including the url the node runs on.

Do you need something more than those 2 methods ?

thanks
françois

I think these two methods are more than enough now. I have not been able to
test/check these yet. Will do that and provide you with the feedback.

cool, closing then.
Create a new issue if you need a different way of accessing the hub internals.

thanks
François

How to get file downloaded path on remote machine(means node). Is any API for getting
that?
