Unable to start appium service by AppiumDriverLocalSerivce

suroit · Oct '15

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

suroit · Oct '15

Hi guys,

Do you have any idea on how to assign nodeconfig file to appium by AppiumDriverLocalService ?

@amitjaincoer191,@wreed

Thanks

suroit · Oct '15

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.

amitjaincoer191 · Oct '15

@suroit

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 ???

suroit · Oct '15

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"))

scnymc · Dec '16

Got the same issue after I upgrade the node and Appium to 1.6, any solution of it?

SireeshaSimakurthy · Dec '16

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"));

VikramVI · Dec '16

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.

VikramVI · Dec '16

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 ?

Regards,
Vikram

		.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
