The thread you are following is JAVA programming way to start appium server. It is bit complex and more prone to errors ...
But AppiumDriverLocalService is a new feature implemented by appium guys in java client 3.2 to start appium server using appium library itself instead of using JAVA.
so wreed is basically saying when you use this new feature it is must to have node.js to be installed on u r system.
same error you are getting.
So first install node.js on your system then you can try with below code. It works fine on android for me.
In this way appium library just wants to know where is node.exe in u r system and where is appium.js file in ur system. appium.js file will be inside the appium server you downloaded and node.exe will be in programfiles like other installed programs.
AppiumDriverLocalService service = AppiumDriverLocalService
.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
.usingDriverExecutable(new File("C:/Program Files/nodejs/node.exe"))
.withAppiumJS(new File("C:/Users/Desktop/android/AppiumForWindows-1.3.4.1/Appium/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
.withLogFile(new File("C:/Users/amit.ja/AppiumServerLogs.txt"))
.withIPAddress("127.0.0.1")
.usingPort(4725));
service.start();
Hope this Helps !!!!
Thanks @amitjaincoer191. i have successful to start the Appium service by AppiumDriverLocalService on MAC. The code lists as below:
public class StartAppium {
private IOSDriver<MobileElement> iosDriver;
private AppiumDriverLocalService service;
@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws Exception {
service = AppiumDriverLocalService
.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
.usingDriverExecutable(new File("/usr/local/bin/node"))
.withAppiumJS(
new File(
"/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
.withIPAddress("127.0.0.1").usingPort(4723));
service.start();
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.iphone();
capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "IOS");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "iPhone Simulator");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "9.0");
capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Safari");
iosDriver = new IOSDriver<MobileElement>(service.getUrl(), capabilities);
iosDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
@Test
public void getAppiumStatus() {
iosDriver.navigate().to("http://www.baidu.com");
iosDriver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(5, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
iosDriver.findElementByName("wd").sendKeys("appium desired capability");
iosDriver.findElement(By.name("wd")).clear();
}
@AfterClass
public void tearDown() {
iosDriver.quit();
service.stop();
}
}
Another question on this, what about if i want to assign a nodeConfig file to the appium server ?
I have tried, but i have no idea which method should i use....
Would you please help to give me some example or some hints ?
Thanks a lot
Hi guys,
Do you have any idea on how to assign nodeconfig file to appium by AppiumDriverLocalService ?
Thanks
Thanks guys, i have solved this issue. i checked with API and found
withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.CONFIGURATION_FILE, "")can assign a configuration file.
Appreciate for your help on this topic.
Are u using grid nodeconfig.json file using this option ?
If yes Can u tell me one more thing ...
So for grid you used this code multiple times to register a node to a running grid HUB ???
Hi @amitjaincoer191,
Yes, i register appium as a node to Selenium Grid. The grid is the HUB.
But i don't try it multiple times.
Is there anything wrong on this ?

Just having ideviceinstaller on the Mac doesn't mean it shows on your $PATH. Try this command:which ideviceinstaller
That will tell you if it's on your $PATH. If it's not, here is a tutorial on adding to the $PATH on OS X:
http://osxdaily.com/2014/08/14/add-new-path-to-path-command-line/46
There are many more like it a mere google search away.

In my case it works only if i mention
...........
.withAppiumJS(
new File(
"/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/bin/main.js"))
................3 months later
Try to use main.js instead of appium.js like below
service = new AppiumServiceBuilder()
.usingDriverExecutable(new File("/Users/ssimakurthy/local/bin/node"))
.withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"));
Please clarify if you're trying to register android node with Selenium HUB with this code ?
are you able to get this issue resolved ?
Thanks in advance.
Just to update on this thread for benefit of others, with below code I could get appiun node registered with Selenium HUB
String nodeConfigFilePath = "/Users/Mobile-Automation/Android-Automation/serenityAppiumFlipkart/EMULATOR_Nexus_4_1.json";
AppiumDriverLocalService driverLocalService = AppiumDriverLocalService
.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
.withAppiumJS(new File("/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"))
.usingDriverExecutable(new File("/usr/local/bin/node"))
//.withIPAddress("127.0.0.1")
.usingPort(4445)
//.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.UIID, "123456")
//.withArgument(AndroidServerFlag.BOOTSTRAP_PORT_NUMBER,
// "" + 2252)
//.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.CHROME_DRIVER_PORT,
// "" + client.getChromeDriverport())
//.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.NO_RESET)
.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)
.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "debug")
.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.CONFIGURATION_FILE, nodeConfigFilePath));
//Logger.info("Server url: " + driverLocalService.getUrl());
driverLocalService.start();Before you run this program, make sure to try it out from command line with below command
appium --nodeconfig EMULATOR_Nexus_4_1.json --port 4445
In case you do something wrong as appium --nodeconfig EMULATOR_Nexus_4_1.json --bp 2252, you will get nice output about flags usage
Couple of open queries still as below
it didn't work with usingAnyFreePort(), I had to explicitly mention port number.
I could register android emulator node, even when it was not in open state, not sure if this is valid ?

Vikram
