appium_console unable to call a remote server

[lnnp1910]

Hello,

I'm trying to use arc appium_consle to call a remote appium server with a different ip address than 127.0.0.1, but it doesn't work.

It works well when I launch my appium server on http://127.0.0.1:4723/wb/hub/. 'arc' starts the console with no issue. Here is my appium.txt:
[caps]
platformName = "ios"
device = "iPhone5"
platformVersion = "7.0.4"

When I switch the appium server to a remote ip such as http://10.0.3.61:4723/wb/hub". I also add this to appium.txt:

[appium_lib]
server_url = "http://10.0.3.61:4723/wb/hub/"

I receives the error indicating that "That URL did not map to a valid JSONWP resource". On the appium server's log: responding to client that we did not find a valid resource 404 error. Also tried with "custom_url="

Any helps?

server_url = is the correct way to change the server address. I recommend writing a stand alone script in any language and try to get it working. Once it works then it's simple to use the same values for your appium.txt. As far as I can tell, this is user error and the server info isn't accurate.

I wrote one python client script to initialize an appium session and do some ui navigation with no issue (this is with the remote server given an ip address). With arc, things work just fine if I use the localhost. But once switching to server_url, then it keeps giving me that error of "That URL did not map to a valid JSONWP resource".

I don't think there's something wrong with my caps because using the same caps, it works well on local ip address.
Please help :(

Post the appium server logs for arc & python as a gist. It's unlikely the caps are the same.

13 days without a response. It's working for me & other users so unless there are logs, it's difficult to debug.

Your attached log seems Java client. Could you create an issue on java client repository?

BTW, Appium server's default port is 4723. So, if you ran an Appium server without specific port number with -p 4727, your following code was wrong.

- driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4727/wd/hub/status"), capacidade);
+ driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub/status"), capacidade);
