driverContext.Driver.Navigate().GoToUrl(url);
context = driverContext;
}
catch(Exception ex)

There are three issues that have been mentioned in this post.
Grid console url problem.
You are hitting an invalid Grid console URL. The correct URL is http://localhost:4444/grid/console.
How to get the session details for a particular session in Grid.
For you to be able to access the details of a session, you should be hitting the URL http://localhost:4444/grid/api/testsession?session=%s where %s represents the session id that you obtain from RemoteWebDriver. SessionId

that you may have an issue with the ChromeDriver binary not being available in the PATH variable. Please check to see if its available in your path and if it can be spun off by running chromedriver from a command prompt ? Also you might want to cross check its presence in the PATH variable by running echo %PATH% and then scanning the output to see if it includes the directory in which chromedriver exists.
