There is a problem with Appium / WebdriverIO that the test does not start from WebdriverIO

Question

There is a problem with Appium / WebdriverIO that the test does not start from WebdriverIO

They run flawlessly

• adb.exe

  o adb devices o List of devices attached o emulator-5554 device

• appium inspector

• Vysor

• appium server

  • [Appium] Welcome to Appium v1.22.3
  • [Appium] Non-default server args:
  • [Appium] address: 127.0.0.1

• android studio

I have tried both emulated and real phones, I can't connect to any of them, it doesn't contact with them Following this page, https://appium.io/docs/en/about-appium/getting-started/ works with both devices. WDIO config (I only took out the important items)

Answer 1

If you are using appium global on service try this. In my case, this configuration only worked with 127.0.0.1, not localhost:

services: [ 
    ['appium' , { 
        args:{
            address:'127.0.0.1',
            port: 4724
        },
        logPath:'./',
        command: 'appium' 
    }
    ]
],

exports.config = {

    path: '/wd/hub',
    port: 4723,
    // default appium port


    //
    // ====================
    // Runner Configuration
    // ====================
    //
    //
    // ==================
    // Specify Test Files
    // ==================
    // Define which test specs should run. The pattern is relative to the directory
    // from which `wdio` was called.
    //
    // The specs are defined as an array of spec files (optionally using wildcards
    // that will be expanded). The test for each spec file will be run in a separate
    // worker process. In order to have a group of spec files run in the same worker
    // process simply enclose them in an array within the specs array.
    //
    // If you are calling `wdio` from an NPM script (see https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/run-script),
    // then the current working directory is where your `package.json` resides, so `wdio`
    // will be called from there.
    //
    specs: [
         './features/*.feature'

       
    ],
    suites: {
       
        // otherFeature: [
        //     // ...
        // ]
    },
    // Patterns to exclude.
    exclude: [
        // 'path/to/excluded/files'
    ],
    //
    // ============
    // Capabilities
    // ============
    // Define your capabilities here. WebdriverIO can run multiple capabilities at the same
    // time. Depending on the number of capabilities, WebdriverIO launches several test
    // sessions. Within your capabilities you can overwrite the spec and exclude options in
    // order to group specific specs to a specific capability.
    //
    // First, you can define how many instances should be started at the same time. Let's
    // say you have 3 different capabilities (Chrome, Firefox, and Safari) and you have
    // set maxInstances to 1; wdio will spawn 3 processes. Therefore, if you have 10 spec
    // files and you set maxInstances to 10, all spec files will get tested at the same time
    // and 30 processes will get spawned. The property handles how many capabilities
    // from the same test should run tests.
    //
    maxInstances: 10,

These are my cucumber project configuration . i am running my emulator and real device both working , i am also running IOS simulator thats also working good . if u wanna check cumcumber settings i can help.

you need android studio installed and environment variables set so your system can run adb commands. you also need to set JAVA_HOME environment variables in your system .

for IOS you need xcode installed .

Answer 3

Try using this line

baseUrl: 'http://localhost',

instead of

baseUrl: 'https://localhost',
