Could not instantiate class io.appium.java_client.AppiumDriver

[sumit-global]

Hi

I know it's not correct platform to dicuss this but I checked almost all channles but didn't get a resolution so posting here.

I am not able to instantiate appium driver.

Below is my serenity.properties file
webdriver.driver= appium
appium.hub = http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
####### Android CAPS ######
appium.automationName=uiautomator2
appium.platformName = Android
appium.platformVersion = 11.0
appium.deviceName = Nexus 5X
appium.app = ${user.dir}\\org.wordpress.android_8.1.apk
appium.appActivity = org.wordpress.android.ui.accounts.LoginActivity

Runner Class

@RunWith(CucumberWithSerenity.class)
@CucumberOptions(
features = "src/test/resources/features/", tags = "@test",
monochrome = true,
plugin = {"pretty", "html:target/cucumber-reports", "json:target/cucumber.json", "rerun:target/failedRerun.txt"})
public class WordPressAppCucumber {
@BeforeClass
public static void startAppium() {startAppiumServer();}
@AfterClass
public static void stopAppium() {stopAppiumServer();}
}`

PageClass

public class WordPressLoginPage extends PageObject {

public WordPressLoginPage(WebDriver driver) {
super(driver);
}

@AndroidFindBy(id="org.wordpress.android:id/login_button")
@iOSXCUITFindBy(xpath="//XCUIElementTypeButton[@label='Log In']")
private WebElement WPLogInButton;

public void gotoWPLoginPage(){
getDriver();
element(WPLogInButton).click();
}

Everytime I am getting below exception

[main] WARN net.thucydides.core.pages.PageFactory - Failed to instantiate page of type class com.serenity.appium.poc.pages.WordPressLoginPage ({})

Try using appium.hub = http://127.0.0.1:4723/ instead of appium.hub = http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub.
