I am also getting the same error.

In the following links, they told as it was fixed in Appium v1.5.3.

Bug

## The problem On concurrent tests running on the same server with flag `--sess…ion-override`, latest running test session should override older tests session. Issue exists in v1.5.0, v1.5.1, master, though it was working on v1.4.6 ## Environment - Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: - v1.5.0 rev 93004e134878b75c03ff78a6b7041a1f846d0429 - master, rev 216264ff169023d7517d7d1d48186dd971908730 - Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): - 1.4.6 - Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: OSX 10.11.4 - Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v5.5.0 - Mobile platform/version under test: Android 5.1.1 - Real device or emulator/simulator: nexus 7 - Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI, ruby_lib ## Details ## ## Link to Appium logs https://gist.github.com/norekinc/648d44a77390e051c327fd0da1818976#file-appium-server-part-log-on-2nd-android-session Included full server log + part where second session enters ## Code To Reproduce Issue [ Good To Have ] No code to be added, rather steps to reproduce: **Given** run appium server with `--session-override` param, eg from the source: `node . --session-override --log-level debug` **And** run client code/test that will start new session on the server **And** run another test with caps pointing to the **same** `server_url`, **after** 1st session has been created **When** second test requests sever for new session **Then (expected)** server overrides session, second test continues running, first test fails **Then (actual)** second test fails, showing error message: `A new session could not be created. Details: Problem getting session data for driver type AndroidDriver; does it implement 'get driverData'? (Selenium::WebDriver::Error::SessionNotCreatedError)` (ruby client)

But I am also using the Appium v1.5.3. Still I am getting the following error occasionally

A new session could not be created. Details: Problem getting session data for driver type AndroidDriver; does it implement ‘get driverData’?

My configuration are:-

Appium - 1.5.3
Android - 5.0.1
Java-client - 4.0.0

Do anybody knows how to solve this issue ?
