@hardik_d how are you launching appium?

hardik_d · Sep '15

i just type in appium and it uses node to triggering appium.js

node $APPIUM_BIN/appium.js

isaac · Sep '15

from source you ought to be able to just run
node .

Alternatively,
node ./build/lib/main.js

hardik_d · Sep '15

so no need to run reset.sh, authorize-ios.js, appium-doctor.js ?

isaac · Sep '15

No more reset script. authorize-ios and appium-doctor are still around but are their own packages, and are under development.

npm install -g appium-doctor
appium-doctor

npm install -g authorize-ios
authorize-ios

The latter will be fixed and out forthwith. Sorry for the confusion.

Hey guys, I was trying to play with 1.5.0-beta4 (from npm) for Mobile WebApp testing and I've found that driver can't even open URL:

...

I got an error

Error: connect ECONNREFUSED

when changing from appium 1.4.8 to 1.5 beta? I used session override.
Is that an issue or I need to add some other setting?

AndrewE · Oct '15

Hello!
I too am getting the following error when trying 1.5 via source. I am running appium by typing: node .

Error: Cannot find module '/Users/Andrew/appium/build/lib/main.js'

Hello,
I saw this warning:
package.json appium@1.5.0-beta7 No bin file found at ./build/lib/main.js

So, I changed the package.json file to remove the 'build' directory for:
"main": "./lib/main.js",
"bin": {
"appium": "./lib/main.js",

Not sure if this was the right thing to do. I got past the first error but then have this one:
/Users/Andrew/appium/lib/main.js:4
import { init as logsinkInit } from './logsink';
^^^^^^

I apologize. A missed step. Try running gulp transpile after you npm install.

isaac · Oct '15

Can you provide more information about what you did?

AndrewE · Oct '15

Hi Isaac,
That worked perfectly, thanks! Needed to install gulp by running npm install -g gulp

I can't get past this issue that I always fail to install appium-chromedriver:

> appium-chromedriver@2.3.5 install /home/rkrisztian1/tmp/appium-beta/appium-1.5/node_modules/appium-chromedriver
> node install-npm.js


/home/rkrisztian1/tmp/appium-beta/appium-1.5/node_modules/bluebird/js/main/promisify.js:268
        throw new TypeError("fn must be a function\u000a\u000a    See http://goo.gl/916lJJ\u000a");
              ^
TypeError: fn must be a function

    See http://goo.gl/916lJJ

    at Function.Promise.promisify (/home/rkrisztian1/tmp/appium-beta/appium-1.5/node_modules/bluebird/js/main/promisify.js:268:15)

Doesn't matter if I run it from a checkout with the mentioned npm install appium-chromedriver trick or via npm install appium@beta (without the checkout). It always fails.

isaac · Oct '15

Can you install appium-chromedriver on its own? If you go into a clean directory and run npm install appium-chromedriver what happens?

hemche · Oct '15

Hello @isaac ! Thanks for Shaping up Appium to be more reliable.

The appium@beta install is getting failed with below error related to appium chrome driver. Could you please suggest if something needs to get fixed from my side to get the latest appium 1.5 beta 7 installed ?
