Any help will be appreciated.

Appium Doctor is not implemented yet for Appium 1.5+
In the attached log file I see you pass most of the parameters as command line parameters. This has been deprecated a while ago and Appium expects them to be passed as capabilities. Read http://appium.io/slate/en/master/?ruby#server-flags for more details

[imurchie]

It is implemented, it is just not bundled with the server. Install it with npm install -g appium-doctor and then run appium-doctor.

@mykola-mokhnach

Is it possible to launch an application through appium server in prelaunch mode . I am trying but appium -server is not given any response , see above attached AppiumLog file.
Can you please suggest me a way to launch appium -server-v1.5.3 start in prelaunch mode.

@imurchie
I have downloaded appium doctor through npm and launch appium doctor successfully . but still i am not able to launch ipa file through appium server in prelaunch mode .

For reference see above attached AppiumLog file.

Any help will be appreciated.

[imurchie]

You will need to start a session for the app to get launched.

Hi,
Sorry for late reply,

Still I am not able to launch application on android device through Appium (GUI) as well as through java-client [using services].

Problem 1:

"service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
.usingDriverExecutable(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node"))
.withAppiumJS(new File("/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js"))
.withIPAddress(Constants.APPIUM_SERVER_HOST)
.usingAnyFreePort()
.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_NO_COLORS)
.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOCAL_TIMEZONE)
.withStartUpTimeOut(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
.withEnvironment(env)
.withLogFile(new File(Constants.basePath + "/Logs/Appium.log")));

            service.start();"

Shows the below exception:
Invalid server instance exception has occured: The invalid appium node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js has been defined

I was wondered , When investigate these error . Appium.js file is not defined in above path but in appium 1.4.13 appium file is exist on path.

Problem2:
Also I am not able to launch application on android as as iOS using appium [GUI] in prelaunch mode.

If you changes appium.js file location and way to change launch application using appium[GUI] in prelaunch mode please let me know.

For Reference please refer attached Appium Log file When I launch application through appium [GUI] in prelaunch mode .

Probably, 90 seconds timeout is not enough to start both the simulator and the app. Try to increase it to 180 seconds (launchTimeout capability)

[shabana-parveen]

will try and let you know..
