Selendroid Server not found

[1dson]

I am running Appium on windows.

I have got a test that I want to run on device with API level < 16. I have successfully managed to install the app on my device using Selendroid but after the app has been installed on my device and appium tries to start the instrumentation process i.e.

info: Selendroid server is launching info: Making http request with opts:{"url":http://localhost:8080/wd/hub/status

I am getting the following error;

error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Waited 20 secs for selendroid server and it never showed up.

[bootstraponline]

I think an oudated Appium probably explains the error.

I figured as much I had to copy the Clean.apk manifest manually into the app> android folder as it wasn't in there. But I have a bigger problem, I have downloaded the latest version 0.7.0 for windows from appium.io but when I run my test I am getting the following error in my log and the app does not launch

debug: java -jar "C:..\appium\node_modules\appium\app\android\strings_from_apk.jar" "" "C:\Windows\Temp\com.appname.mobilize.myapp" debug: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Exception: Input is not an existing readable file. at strings.StringsXML.e(stringsXML.java:105)
at strings.StringsXML.main(stringsXML.java:131) error: error making strings error: Above error isn't fatal, maybe relaunching adb will help...

This error doesn't occur if i run version 0.6.0

Does "C:\Windows\Temp\com.appname.mobilize.myapp" exist?

[1dson]

I reverted back to my API 17 test as I couldn't get the selendroid test to work as I am still getting the timeout issue 'error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: Waited 20 secs for selendroid server and it never showed up.'

"C:\Windows\Temp\com.appname.mobilize.myapp" exist? doesn't and I don't think it should, as the apk that I am testing is installed on my device (4.2.2) already. Unless maybe the logic has changed from appium v 0.6.0

These are the capabilities that I am passing

        var caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
         caps.SetCapability("app-package", "bbc.mobile.news.uk");
         caps.SetCapability("app-activity", "HomeUkActivity");
        caps.SetCapability("app-wait-activity", "HomeUkActivity"); 

If i use v0.6.0, the app get's started correctly and there are no issues.The issue only occurs in 0.7.0. I see that in v0.7.0 you've added the following 'strings_from_apk' jar file in the android folder and I think this is the file that is causing the issue

"C:\Windows\Temp\com.appname.mobilize.myapp" exist? doesn't and I don't think it should, as the apk that I am testing is installed on my device (4.2.2) already.

If you're testing an apk that is only on the device and not available at a local path then extracting strings from the apk will fail. Appium should be updated so that if there's no local apk then find by id is disabled instead of refusing to run.

Selendroid launches for me so this issue is only when there's no local apk.

[1dson]

I am passing the following capabilities when trying to test API < 17

      var caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
       string myApp = "C:\\Users\\Wonderson.Chideya\\Documents\\ASZ10668-COPD.apk";
        caps.SetCapability("app-package", "com.excointouch.mobilize.ASZ10668");
        caps.SetCapability("device", "selendroid");
        caps.SetCapability("app", myApp);
        caps.SetCapability("app-activity", "ASZ10668Activity");
        caps.SetCapability("app-wait-activity", "ASZ10668Activity");

The App does get installed on the device but the selendroid session doesn't get started and I get the timeout error. Could it be possible that the link on the appium.io site is not the up to date version of appium? As you stated the reason that I am seeing the timeout issue is because I am using an outdated version of appium

[bootstraponline]

Unless you're running from source, then you're on an old version. I'm not sure how you'd run from source on Windows. When I launch Appium, I see info: Welcome to Appium v0.7.1 (REV f1f19b9a730885d9fd66e2d5f0fbccd2b393f2d1) which matches https://github.com/appium/appium/commit/f1f19b9a730885d9fd66e2d5f0fbccd2b393f2d1.

[1dson]

I just download the zip from http://appium.io/. it contains all the dlls, jar, Appium.exe etc. The latest Zip that was uploaded to the site is for v0.7.0. I am guessing someone needs to do another push to appium.io so that it contains the latest version.

[bootstraponline]

On Appium.app for OS X, you can download Appium from GitHub and run from source with Appium -> Preferences... -> Use External Appium Package. I think this will be possible in the future for Windows.

[1dson]

Hopefully sooner that later :-)

[1dson]

This is what I am seeing when I launch the Appium.exe

On further investigation this is what my log file is displaying

What caught me was the following error { "status": 13, "value": "ERROR running Appium command: Cannot read property 'capabilities' of null" }

Any Idea why I would be getting the error when the same test works on 4.2 + devices? I am running appium 0.7.1 (REV 055dcdf7ef15a0a15a4bc9daed1c748c98f2fa)

[jlipps]

Are you running anything else on port 8080 on your machine?

It'd also be useful to run adb logcat while this is going on to see if the selendroid server announces that it has started.

Doesn't look like the the server gets started. Just checking if the Port is not being used by another service.

[1dson]

Port 8080 is not in use by any other process

[jlipps]

In that case the issue is probably that Selendroid is not starting

Looking from the appium.exe log it does look like the selendroid server does get started but it never launches

Is there anything that I can do to start or launch the selendroid server?

This sounds like it could be an issue with your app, android SDK, or AVD (or how they all relate). I googled INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK and found this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9093709/installation-error-install-failed-older-sdk, which looks like it could be helpful.

[1dson]

Thanks

Jonathan, thanks for all your help but I am still getting the INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK error and I think I've figured out what the issue might be. The original APK min SDK target is 7 and I can install it on a device running 2.2.3 to 4.2.3 and runs correctly. I've updated my android SDK and AVD but I think the issue is when Appium decompiles/rebuilds the app and creates the selendroid server e.g. selendroid.com.excointouch.mobilize.myapp.apk. For some reason I am guessing that the server gets reassigned with the min SDK version on my PC which would be 17 and not the version that was on the original app with is 7. So it will never install, as the device that I am trying to install to the SDK version is 8. I also tried to install the app selendroid app on my device (2.2.) manually an I got the following error 'There is a problem parsing the package'. but then I installed the same app on my other device (4.2.2) and it installed without any issues. Should I create a separate issue or just leave it in this chain

[jlipps]

Hmm, thanks for the research. @bootstraponline do you know how to make sure we respect the app target when we recompile the selendroid manifest? I bet we're just taking selendroid's target rather than the app's?

[bootstraponline]

@bootstraponline do you know how to make sure we respect the app target when we recompile the selendroid manifest?

We'd have to parse out the app's min sdk and then update the selendroid manifest. The min sdk on Selendroid's server is 10. If Selendroid doesn't support < 10 then changing this number won't help.

I'm not sure what you mean in reference to app target. I think the issue is related to min sdk.

I bet we're just taking selendroid's target rather than the app's?

I don't think we're changing the min sdk at all.

[jlipps]

I'm not sure what you mean in reference to app target. I think the issue is related to min sdk.

That's because I'm not clear on what I'm talking about or how it all works in Android-land. So maybe the issue here is just that Selendroid requires API level 10 and the device in question is API level 8?

[bootstraponline]

the issue here is just that Selendroid requires API level 10 and the device in question is API level 8?

Yes.

[1dson]

So for me to test on app that's meant to work on a API level 8 device I can just use AVD instead?

[jlipps]

I think the moral of the story is that Selendroid only works for API levels 10 and up. @DominikDary, is this true?

[bootstraponline]

Calabash is able to run on API level 4. I think it's a bug that Selendroid requires >= 10

[DominikDary]

I haven't tested it yet. Will do, and if it is working fine, I will change the mimimum version.

It appears that Selendroid really does need API level 10. That means targeting API levels < 10 with Appium is not currently possible.

[jeelansheriff]

I am running into exactly the same issue with device having API level 15(Android version 4.0.4). I went through the logs posted here, and the failures seem to be exactly the same. My Appium version is v0.9.1.

Anyone who has a solution to this issue?
