Hi Akilan,
I have documented the steps to start Appium Server from Java code here http://praveenmukilan.wordpress.com/2014/12/24/setting-up-appium-android-in-eclipse/912
Hope this helps you.

hi Praveen,
I am getting the same exceptions and not sure how to add this .plist file and a bit worried to follow this site(http://www.dowdandassociates.com/blog/content/howto-set-an-environment-variable-in-mac-os-x-launchd-plist/) since I never played with these path variables. Can you please explain the steps to make ANDROID_HOME path available for Eclipse IDE.

I am trying to initiate Appium server through code in the Windows machine for Android. Same I have used mentioned in this forum.
Receiving below error , could you please assist me in this.
I have seen in the "Task Manager" "node.exe" process is listed. but seeing below error.

You successfully managed to start the Appium server programmatically as I can see (because the node.exe process exists in the Task Manager).
The problem seems to be with Appium server configurations or capabilities. Please provide both of them.
@Hassan_Radi: Thanks for response. In another way , manually started Appium server , executed script from setting server capabilities without any issues.
The issue is appearing only when Appium server and same Appium capabilities are running through code. However please see below code (values are driven from spreadsheet part of framework.
String strJ4uBuildFilePath = ReadGlobalConfiguration.globalConfigprop.getProperty("J4uApp_BuildFilePath");
String strJ4uBuildFile = ReadGlobalConfiguration.globalConfigprop.getProperty("J4uApp_Android_BuildFileName");
FwConstants.fwSetDesiredCapability();
File appDir = new File(strJ4uBuildFilePath);
File app = new File(appDir,strJ4uBuildFile);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("automationName", FwConstants.strArg_AutomationName_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("platformName",FwConstants.strArg_PlatformName_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("platformVersion",FwConstants.strArg_Arg_PlatformVersion_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("deviceName",FwConstants.strArg_DeviceName_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("app-package",FwConstants.strArg_Package_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("app-activity",FwConstants.strArg_Activity_Val);
FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy.setCapability("app", app.getAbsolutePath());
fwSetDriverToAppiumServer();below code is part of above method fwSetDriverToAppiumServer();
FwConstants.fwSetDesiredCapability();
try {
FwConstants.AndDriver = new AndroidDriver (new URL(FwConstants.strArg_URL),FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy);
} catch (MalformedURLException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
FwConstants.AndDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);Please let me know if you need further information.
Regards,
Kiran
. Also please attach your Appium server log.@Hassan_Radi: Thanks for requesting log.
After your hint i did check the log , found "deviceName" is missing listed in the log. Due to code error , appiumcapability object is setting hence it is not finding "deviceName" , I have fixed framework code and working fine (starting and stopping server through code). This is happening only when I execute the script in "Debug" mode. When I initiated the script as "Run" mode , it is not starting the server. I have checked the task manager , I didn't see "node.exe" process.
Please see below log details and I request guidance in this.

Can you please mention what are you doing in your script on line 156 in your "AppiumServerLib" file?? The exception seems to be initiated from there
@Hassan_Radi: line 156 set capabilities to driver
FwConstants.AndDriver = new AndroidDriver (new URL(FwConstants.strArg_URL),FwConstants.Appiumcapabiliy);
url is coming from excel spreadsheet , accessed using Apache POI.
****@Kamal_Girdher:**** Thanks for response and provided links , i built the framework which will access the values dynamically from the spreadsheet during execution. Firstly I am executing on Windows , same code I was referring into dynamic code. It is perfectly running in debug mode (node.exe invoke , setting capabilities and running above mentioned driver code). But during run mode , giving above mentioned error for which Hasan is requesting information. Thanks for your help.
The fact that it fails when starting the Appium session is because starting the server was somehow skipped and it is now trying to reach a server that was not started.
The server starting logic might have failed and was not started successfully without you noticing (It would throw an error message in the command prompt log) because the server might have been already running and trying to start it again with the same IP address and port number will give an error message saying that "The port number is already used by another application"
I recommend checking if the server is already running before you attempt to start it. If it was actually running, then you should stop it and then move to the start logic again. Also when working with the command prompt and executing actions in this manner, you should always print the output of the command execution in your log to be able to refer to that later and know what went wrong.
Hope I helped....
P.S. The IP address you are using "10.31.24.67" doesn't look like a local address on your machine, unless you are doing some loopback tunneling, so please check the IP address and make sure it is not the issue.
Thanks for your time and comments.
I am examining and working on your comments.
I have two queries here:
a) How to know whether Appium server is running or not , do you have any reference code or link?
b) Regarding output of the command execution log record , do you have any link or reference code?, so that I will implement and see
The IP address shown in the log file is , Host IP Address. But in the actual code for server start on IP Address is 127.0.0.1 , port 4789
Does this impact when we trying to initiate Appium server through code?
Regards,
Kiran
You will find a node.exe process in your task manager when the server is running.
You can use this function74. The whole class is supposed to start and stop Appium server. Give it a try and let me know how it works.
8 days later
Hi @Hassan_Radi can you help me in this thread please
hi bro can you tell me how i can do this in c# please in mac platform...how can i start the server and also give my app path for the simulator to open the app.?
@Hassan_Radi: Thanks for your great support , while this is still under my work , I have another priority issue than this one. If you have time , could you please respond to below mentioned issue which I have to clear ASAP.

Kiran
