Not able to start appium server in eclipse console

[Rahul1970]

I am using appium 2.11.2 version and node js version is v20.3.1. I am able to run appium server in cmd but not in eclipse console.I am attaching the console logs. Please help to resolve this issue. Let me know if anything else to share.

The path i am using in the config file is AppiumNodePath = C://Program Files//nodejs//node.exe AppiumPath=C://Users//Rahul.singh2//AppData//Roaming//npm//node_modules//appium//lib//main.js

io.appium.java_client.service.local.AppiumServerHasNotBeenStartedLocallyException: The local appium server has not been started.

the error is expected. The main executable should be pointing to the build subfolder where transpired sources are located. Instead it is pointing to an untraspiled version of it, which obviously cannot be run as is.

[Rahul1970]

Please suggest what has to be done.

As Mykola said:

The main executable should be pointing to the build subfolder where transpired sources are located.

Try changing your AppiumPath from [..]appium//lib//main.js to [..]appium//build//lib//main.js.

Hi Mykola and eglitise thanks a lot for your help. Please also suggest where to put chromedriver exe file for handling webview in uiautomator2 driver and flutter driver. Their paths in appium 2 are C:\Users\Rahul.singh2.appium\node_modules\appium-flutter-driver\node_modules\appium-chromedriver C:\Users\Rahul.singh2.appium\node_modules\appium-uiautomator2-driver\node_modules\appium-chromedriver. Also suggest what file to put in [Appium] Requiring driver at C:\Users\Rahul.singh2.appium\node_modules\appium-flutter-driver\build\lib\driver.js [Appium] Requiring driver at C:\Users\Rahul.singh2.appium\node_modules\appium-uiautomator2-driver\build\index.js these two locations

This is the place for issues. Please use Appium forum to ask questions

Personally I just launch the Appium server with the --allow-insecure chromedriver_autodownload flag so I don't have to worry about the exact chromedriver version.
