Error when running test using a grid set up

Question

I am getting the following error when grid has been set up and test is to be executed on the local machine

 

Error forwarding the new session Empty pool of VM for setup Capabilities [{platform=MAC, browserName=firefox, version=}]

Command duration or timeout: 227 milliseconds

My Beforemethod has the following lines of code

 

DesiredCapabilities cap = null ;

System.out.println("Browser: "+this.browser);

if(this.browser.equals("FF"))

cap = DesiredCapabilities.firefox();

else

{

if(this.browser.equals("chrome"))

cap = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();

}

 

String browserName, browserVersion;

 

cap.setPlatform(Platform.MAC);

 

/* trying with local machine */

driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new URL(" http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub"), cap);
