Getting "Error: Android bootstrap socket crashed: Error: read ECONNRESET" when running multiple appium sessions

Issues/Bugs
1

I installed appium from npm and have I am running my test for android on 3 real devices. Using windows OS. My tests are written in java only.

Here is how i set up the three different devices. Each testng.xml will have a property which will specify the device number so each will be set up with different capabilities.

/**
* Sets up appium.
*/
@SuppressWarnings(“deprecation”)
@BeforeSuite(alwaysRun = true)
@Parameters(“deviceNumber”)
public void SetUpAppium(String deviceNumber) throws Exception {

	DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

	if (deviceNumber.equals("1")) {
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "6.0.1");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "0815f8ab2d9c0f04");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "0815f8ab2d9c0f04");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.ztrip.debug");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY,
				"com.ztrip.refresh.activity.RegistrationActivity");
		driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4923/wd/hub"), capabilities);
	} else if (deviceNumber.equals("2")) {

		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "6.0.1");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "32048bee42301293");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "32048bee42301293");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.ztrip.debug");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY,
				"com.ztrip.refresh.activity.RegistrationActivity");
		driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4835/wd/hub"), capabilities);
	} else if (deviceNumber.equals("3")) {

		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, "Android");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "6.0.1");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "LGH8159ea5948a");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.UDID, "LGH8159ea5948a");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_PACKAGE, "com.ztrip.debug");
		capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP_ACTIVITY,
				"com.ztrip.refresh.activity.RegistrationActivity");
		driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4747/wd/hub"), capabilities);
	}

	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

	driver.resetApp();

I am running three different appium servers with the following command

appium --address 127.0.0.1 -p 4923 -U 0815f8ab2d9c0f04 -bp 4945 --chromedriver-port 4977 --session-override

appium --address 127.0.0.1 -p 4835 -U 32048bee42301293 -bp 4857 --chromedriver-port 4877 --session-override 

appium --address 127.0.0.1 -p 4747 -U LGH8159ea5948a -bp 4769 --chromedriver-port 4777 --session-override

Then i use testng to execute different test cases on each real device. However, 10 minutes into the test cases i get the following error on two of the servers. The third server contineus to work normally.

Error: Android bootstrap socket crashed: Error: read ECONNRESET
at Socket. (lib/bootstrap.js:87:21)
at Socket.emit (events.js:107:17)
at net.js:459:14
at process._tickCallback (node.js:355:11)

I have updated appium to latest version with npm update -g appium

Please help as I have been stuck on this issue for over a week. I believe there may be a bug where appium is not correctly forwarding the bootstrap port.

@SrinivasanTarget @imurchie @bootstraponline could some please help me on this… this is on appium 1.5.3

  1. Go to task manger and kill all the adb server
  2. Close eclipse .
  3. Open eclipse and run your script

Thanks for your reply. However this did not solve my issue. Tried restarting the machine as well.

You are not using selenium grid

6

@Jitu1888 yes you are right i was not. I switched to selenium grid but still see the same error. I see all three of my devices registered in selenium grid. I then run testng.xml for each device and the same bootstrap socket crash occurs.

Ok i will share my code and you can add your device udid

@Jitu1888 Thank you, that would be great help. How could i access your code?

i am writing the code with 4 devices and i will share you on Monday

Thank you that would be much help

@Jitu1888 Thank you with your help i was able to properly set up selenium grid and run my tests. I haven’t seen the bootstrap socket crash so i believe the problem is fixed. Thanks again for your time!
