Not able to start appium server programatically

RSM-SBA commented 2 years ago

Description

I'm linking a problem which was posted in the appium server git. For me it looked like that changes within the appium2.0beta@28 release broke the starting of the server with the java-client version 8.0.0

As the downgrading to 7.0.0 is not an option due to the spring vulnerability, it would be nice if someone could have a look, if the java-client has to adept the changes withing the latest appium 2.0 beta

https://github.com/appium/appium/issues/16753

Environment

Java client build version or git revision if you use some snapshot: 8.0.0
Appium server version or git revision if you use some snapshot: appium 2.0 beta@28
Desktop OS/version used to run Appium if necessary: Mac
Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe) or Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: 6
Mobile platform/version under test: AN / iOS
Real device or emulator/simulator: Simulator

Details

Please provide more details, if necessary.

not sure how this is related to java client. It is obviously a server bug

RSM-SBA commented 2 years ago

someone mentioned this in the linked issue thread

This issue is in latest jar (Version: 8.0.0). I have downgraded client version to 7.0.0 and every thing working fine. With latest jar i think issue with fetching node.js executable and use it in the process to create appium session

I don't observe any java client exceptions in that issue report. Do you experience any issues finding main appium executable locally?

RSM-SBA commented 2 years ago

I also thought it is an server issue, and I don't see such exceptions, but I was not sure because it was mentioned that client version 7 is working

mykola-mokhnach commented 2 years ago

It's not possible to fix anything without having clear logs/exception traces

RSM-SBA commented 2 years ago

fixed with appium server version 2.0beta@30
