Cannot start the driver service on http://localhost:34811/

Question

I'm hoping someone will offer some help here.I tried following the similar questions asked before but no change in the results. I'm trying to run a VS 2019 .Net 5.0 project in a bitbucket pipeline but I'm getting the following error when I try initialise a new chromeDriver (OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriverException : Cannot start the driver service on http://localhost:34811/) Here is the copy of the yml I'm using (I've tried both the commented and uncommented version but both getting the same result) Further information about this project is, it's a Selenium/Nunit project in c# running Cucumber feature files. Locally I'm able to run the project in parallel but only getting issues when trying to run in the pipeline. Any advice would greatly be appreciated :)

#define Selenium as a service in bitbucketpipeline file:

definitions:
 selenium-standalone:
 image: selenium/standalone-chrome:latest
 port: 4444

#use it in your step

- step:
name: Unit Tests
services:
- selenium-standalone

#use this variable and augment with port 4444

echo $BITBUCKET_DOCKER_HOST_INTERNAL

curl -I http://$BITBUCKET_DOCKER_HOST_INTERNAL:4444

#pass this variable into the container that needs to talk to the selenium-standalone service

#set an environment variable e.g.: UTESTVAR and then use that in your test environment

#CSHARP

var options = new ChromeOptions();

options.AddArgument("--headless=new");

WebDriver driver = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://" + Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("UTESTVAR") + ":4444"), options);

driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://www.google.com");

var sShot = driver.GetScreenshot();

sShot.SaveAsFile("the_screen_shot");

Here is my latest version of the .yml file. Getting the same error:

script: # Modify the commands below to build your repository.
- export PROJECT_NAME=Swoop-Acceptance
- export TEST_NAME=Swoop-Acceptance
- dotnet restore
- dotnet build $PROJECT_NAME
- dotnet test $TEST_NAME
