How to start appium with AppiumDriverLocalService without giving node path and appium js path into code?

[ramshankar_testing]

I am trying with below code.

AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
service.start();

But it gives me "io.appium.java_client.service.local.InvalidNodeJSInstance: Node.js is not installed"

Is there any way I can fix this problem without passing the node path/appium js into program ?

Any help will be more Appreciated

You cannot, it is mandatory or u can say a precondition to pass node path / appium js path in this class

Thanks @amitjaincoer191 .
Is there any work around for cross platform like Windows , Mac where it can find path dynamically. I mean basically try to avoid to hardcode the path on any java or properties file.

you can handle programmatically, like check OS type and launch appium and node accordingly.
if(windows){
launch appium in windows
}else if(linux){
launch appium in linux
}else{
launch appium in MAC
}
thanks,

You can add these path to environment variable and then read it using java code

e.g.

public void getEnviormentVariables(){
System.out.println("ANDROID_HOME : "+System.getenv("ANDROID_HOME"));
System.out.println("PATH : "+System.getenv("PATH"));
}

for mac I am not sure you can search if same code work, but yes we do set path like windows in mac machine also.
