Espresso server - spawn EINVAL Gradle error message

[pbdeguzman]

Hi, I'm new here and I tried to use Appium Espresso Driver as my Appium Framework on my Appium Inspector.

• I run Appium via Command Line.

• Then I setup the Appium Inspector and Start Session. Then, I encounter this error.

• I check my test device and the espresso driver has been installed
  

Here's my logs:

Is my setup correct? Or is there something missing on my end? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Patrick

I would try out the gradle command directly. Perhaps the espresso server dependencies needs to be coordinated. It is not only building step but also launching the test app via instrument process (in espresso framework) related

Seems related to appium/appium#20008

Thanks to this I was able to proceed. Now I'm encountering socket hang up. I would try to read some issues regarding this.

The latest issue was your espresso server and the app under test did not have the same signature.

[EspressoDriver@6f23]   "alwaysMatch": {
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "platformName": "Android",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:udid": "0123456789ABCDEF",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:deviceName": "p2pro",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:automationName": "Espresso",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:appPackage": "com.global.wwca",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:forceEspressoRebuild": "true",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:showGradleLog": "true",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:espressoBuildConfig": "{\"additionalAndroidTestDependencies\": [\"androidx.lifecycle:lifecycle-extensions:2.2.0\", \"com.google.android.material:material:1.6.1\",  \"androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4\"]}",
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:ensureWebviewsHavePages": true,
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:nativeWebScreenshot": true,
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:newCommandTimeout": 3600,
[EspressoDriver@6f23]     "appium:connectHardwareKeyboard": true
[EspressoDriver@6f23]   },

Both the server package and the application under test must be signed with the same digital signature.

https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#requirements

for example https://github.com/appium/appium-espresso-driver?tab=readme-ov-file#app-signing would help, or use app capability instead of appPackage etc...
