Getting below issue:

Tried to attach logging to file 'D:\Automation-Framework\Generic\generic\Logs\Server.logs' but an error occurred: EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'D:\Automation-Framework\Generic\generic\Logs\Server.logs'

Environment

• Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 2.1.3
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Windows 10
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: v18.18.0

@dipakkumar1225 check "Logs" folder is created or not (System.getProperty("user.dir") + File.separator + "Logs" + File.separator + "Server.logs")). If not create the Logs folder and try!!

@ashwithpoojary98 Folder and files both are present.

For safety, I am checking the folder present or not, But still getting same error

@mykola-mokhnach Can you please guide me on this?

Today I tried by simply creating Java application and with these too getting the same error.

 public static void main(String[] args) {
        AppiumDriverLocalService appiumDriverLocalService = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
                .withIPAddress("127.0.0.1")

                .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL, "info:debug")
                .withLogFile(new File("Logs" + File.separator + "Server.log")));
        appiumDriverLocalService.start();
        appiumDriverLocalService.stop();
    }

@dipakkumar1225 I'm not sure what the exact issue is, but the error clearly says that the file write operation is not allowed. Try renaming the project folder, "D:\Automation-Framework", to "AutomationFramework" (without the special character).

Today, I tested by downgrading the Selenium version to 4.12.0, and logs attached successfully to file. Additionally, if the "Logs" folder is not present, it gets created at runtime. But if I change the selenium version 4.12.0 onwards then started getting issue EBUSY: resource busy or locked
