Unable to start appium through Jenkins programatically. This works when running from Eclipse

hashili 2017-12-14 09:05:20 UTC #1

Jenkins giving following error on the console. This doesnt give any details error report.
I am using appium version 1.7.1 CLI npm. getting following error

===============================================
Demo App Automation Testing
Total tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Skips: 1
Configuration Failures: 1, Skips: 1

The script is working fine when i manually start appium from CLI and run BUILD NOW from jenkin after commenting automatic appium start.

Do i miss any configuration settings. I have configured following items.

GIT_HOME :C:\Users\Hashili.MA\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin\git.exe
JAVA_HOME: C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_151

did u find any solution?

Sorry for the late reply… I got the solution. U have mention the Appium.JS or Main.JS path on AppiumServiceBuilder()

Sample Code below.

	try {
		builder = new AppiumServiceBuilder();
		builder.withAppiumJS(new File(APPIUM_JS));
		builder.withIPAddress(serverURL);
		builder.usingPort(Integer.parseInt(APPIUM_PORT));
		builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE);
		//builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL,"error");

		//Start the server with the builder
		appiumService = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(builder);
		appiumService.start();
	}catch(Exception e) {
		LogUtil.error("Error on Appium server start! : "+e.getMessage());
	}
