im trying to run an automation script using appium and im getting the following error, however the emulator is fully booted in headless mode, any idea what could be the issue and how to fix ?

Not exactly sure what’s going on, but you could run the command independently of Appium (on the command line):

And see if it gives more information. Seems similar to this issue:

I had this same issue, and after killing the ‘adb’ task in the background it worked just fine. At least I think it was the thing that helped eventually.
