calabash-android run always has error "android.util.AndroidException: INSTRUMENTATION_FAILED:

[angeliaw]

calabash-android run always has this error, I tried calabash-android console also has this error, but in console, if i 'reinstall_apps' then 'start_test_server_in_background' could be successful.

i was totally confused, i checked support files which were generated by 'calabash-android gen'

android.util.AndroidException: INSTRUMENTATION_FAILED: xxxx/sh.calaba.instrumentationbackend.CalabashInstrumentationTestRunner

Are you sure the app/test server are both installed? What version are you using?
Does ADB logcat say anything?

Same here followed by App did not start (RuntimeError)
Mac OS X 10.11.6 had an awful lot of permission issues when it comes to ruby. Maybe source of these issues?

Note: Using calabash-sandbox it works fine on the emulator.
