[🐛 Bug]: Grid status response does not have "se:containerName" set

[MJB222398]

What happened?

I have a Docker Selenium Grid running with a Hub and several nodes. In order to implement a particular feature I need to be able to get the Docker container name (of the node container) from the web driver SessionId. I found that I can make GET request to http://localhost:4444/status to get information on the Grid status. In the response to this request I have:

"slots": [
          {
            "id": {
              "hostId": "86d384d2-2951-4da2-89dd-c3007c6bfe94",
              "id": "23c6d9c6-0536-47df-bf56-9c7dcf25bf08"
            },
            "lastStarted": "2024-12-12T13:26:25.102549259Z",
            "session": null,
            "stereotype": {
              "browserName": "chrome",
              "browserVersion": "127.0",
              "goog:chromeOptions": {
                "binary": "/usr/bin/google-chrome"
              },
              "platformName": "linux",
              "se:containerName": "",
              "se:noVncPort": 7900,
              "se:vncEnabled": true
            }
          }
        ]

So the se:containerName property is not set. I am assuming this is supposed to be the Docker container name that I need.

If I do a docker ps -a I get:

CONTAINER ID   IMAGE                                   COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                                                           NAMES

So the container name should be 'chrome-node' as you can see.

I think you have to upgrade to at least version 4.24+ to have the fix in Grid server - SeleniumHQ/selenium#14323

[MJB222398]

Argh thanks, I will have to upgrade it seems

[MJB222398]

@VietND96 OK I upgraded to 4.27 and the issue is still there, appears not to be fixed

[VietND96]

I will use this ticket to update README and clarify its usage.

[tscamell]

We too have this same use case (needing to use status page to link sessionId to the node that's running it) and can confirm se:containerName is also appearing blank for us, running 4.28.0

[coxy24]

I am also having this same issue. Container name is always blank , i am also using 4.28
