Code To reproduce issue

this is my code:
import unittest
from appium import webdriver
from appium.webdriver.common.appiumby import AppiumBy
from appium.options.android import UiAutomator2Options

capabilities = dict(
platformName='Android',
automationName='uiautomator2',
deviceName='My device name',
appPackage='com.android.settings',
appActivity='.Settings',
# language='en',
# locale='US'
)

appium_server_url = 'http://localhost:4723/wd/hub'
APPIUM_PORT = 4723
APPIUM_HOST = '127.0.0.1'

capabilities_options = UiAutomator2Options().load_capabilities(capabilities)

class TestAppium(unittest.TestCase):
def setUp(self) -> None:
self.driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=appium_server_url, options=capabilities_options)

def tearDown(self) -> None:
    if self.driver:
        self.driver.quit()

def test_find_battery(self) -> None:
    el = self.driver.find_element(by=AppiumBy.XPATH, value='//*[@text="Battery"]')
    el.click()

if name == 'main':
unittest.main()

What about using http://localhost:4723' as https://appium.io/docs/en/2.4/quickstart/test-py/ instead of http://localhost:4723/wd/hub?

[apatheticL]

I try replace appium_server_url = 'http://localhost:4723/wd/hub'
to appium_server_url = 'http://localhost:4723' but it not work and it show same error you can see it in this link error https://gist.github.com/apatheticL/d3a477dee2520ac6ea96dc1b3e7ebbe2

Welcome to Appium v1.9.1

Please use the latest version. I'm not sure how you installed the Appium, but current Appium is v2.x and newer driver version. 1.9.1 is pretty old.

https://appium.io/docs/en/2.4/quickstart/install/
https://appium.io/docs/en/2.4/quickstart/uiauto2-driver/

[apatheticL]

Thanks. but i remove this appium version 1.9.1 and i run it in appium version v2.4.1 but in appium server not show any error but in log build in IDE error in this link https://gist.github.com/apatheticL/476f75fcc7621ffaeb376350339d969c

The error means your script failed to find the element. Possibly the device's screen did not have the matched element.
You may need to adjust the find element method's arguments. driver.page_source may help to see what elements are available in the screen.

This is how to write test code, so Appium is working right now

appium_server_url = 'http://localhost:4723' WORKED only! instead of http://localhost:4723/wd/hub or http://localhost:4723/
