Not able to find the appium.js file where it is located in local system, though installed Appium Desktop V1.7.2

Earlier I used to install Appium and able to see the Appium folder and the Appium.js file, where as in the new Appium desktop version V1.7.2 downloaded using .msi, now not able to see the Appium folder where it is installed either program files ( or program files x86 too). Pls let me know where I can find the same Appium.js file in the latest appium. Trying to automate the appium server through java code to that we need appium.js and node.exe paths where that are located

Try this folder

C:\Users*skjni*\AppData\Local\Programs\appium-desktop\resources\app\node_modules\appium\build\lib

Change the * section with your user name from your computer

Thanks

Thanks @jhaskumar to ur reply, i found that under the below path

C:\Users\satheeshnukala\AppData\Local\Programs\appium-desktop\resources\app\node_modules\appium\lib\appium.js

Any idea about to start appium through code for new Appium Desktop, shall i use main.js or appium.js itself. I tried both the ways but getting exception as below

================================================================================

I’m facing the below exception with Appium-Desktop v1.3.2 (downloaded from appium.io), and trying to connect to appium server but not connecting to server. pls let me know the issue

in the latest version of Appium-Desktop do we need to provide main.js or appium.js file in the commandLineArgument. i tried both but still giving the error.
============================Code i’ve used==================

System.out.println(“Starting appium server”);
/CommandLine cmd = new CommandLine(“cmd”);
cmd.addArgument(“cmd”);
cmd.addArgument("/C");/
/* cmd.addArgument(“C:\Users\satheeshnukala\AppData\Local\Programs\appium-desktop\resources\app\node_modules\appium\lib\appium.js”); // commented the appium.js and used main.js file */
CommandLine cmd = new CommandLine(“C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe”);
//cmd.addArgument(“C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe”);
cmd.addArgument(“C:\Users\satheeshnukala\AppData\Local\Programs\appium-desktop\resources\app\main.js”);
cmd.addArgument("–address");
cmd.addArgument(“127.0.0.1”);
cmd.addArgument("–port");
cmd.addArgument(“4723”);
cmd.addArgument("–no-reset",true);
cmd.addArgument("–full-reset",false);
cmd.addArgument("–log");
cmd.addArgument(“C:\Users\satheeshnukala\workspace\AppiumTest\ConsoleLogs\AppiumConsoleLogs.txt”);

	DefaultExecuteResultHandler handler = new DefaultExecuteResultHandler();
	DefaultExecutor executor = new DefaultExecutor();
	executor.setExitValue(1);
	try {
		executor.execute(cmd, handler);
		Thread.sleep(10000);
	} catch (IOException | InterruptedException e) {
		e.printStackTrace();
	}
	System.out.println("Started appium server");

Hi!
I have faced with the same issue.
My solution (on C#):

install Appium using npm install -g appium
ProcessStartInfo processStartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
{
FileName = “cmd.exe”,
Arguments = @"/k ““c:\Users<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\npm\appium.cmd””",
WorkingDirectory = @“c:\Users<user_name>\AppData\Roaming\npm”,
RedirectStandardInput = true,
UseShellExecute = false
};
Process.Start(processStartInfo);

It has helped me.
