dduphorn · May 5, 2016, 6:50pm

Appium Version: 1.5.2 (Ara)
Android Studio Version: 2.1
Eclipse Version: 4.5.2

Summary:
I’m getting the error Encountered internal error running command: Error: ENOENT: dos such file or directory, scandir ‘/User/[UserName]/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools’

I’m attempting to execute a Android test from a XML document within my Eclipse solution when I get the above error.
This same test ran successfully when I executed it directly from Eclipse.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“avd”, strAVDName.replace(" “,”_"));
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,strAVDName);
capabilities.setCapability(“unicodeKeyboard”, “true”);
String apkpath=strUserDir+"/APK/BlahBlahBlah.apk";
File app=new File(apkpath);capabilities.setCapability(“app”, app.getAbsolutePath());
return new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);

It appears that it’s looking for build-tools in the wrong directory.

I’m guessing it should be looking in /Users instead of /User

Thoughts?

Ah, I figured it out.

In my Eclipse -> Run Configurations… under my Under Environments tab I had /User instead of Users.

In this case, you might also want to check how you’re setting up your ANDROID_HOME environment variable. It might reference the wrong directory as well.

Hi,

I’m facing the same issue which is raised above. I can’t get the solution for this issue.

Here is my bashrc
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk/tools
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk/build-tools
export ANDROID_HOME=$ANDROID_HOME:/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home
export M2_HOME=/usr/local/apache-maven/apache-maven-3.3.9
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$M2_HOME/bin
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/share/npm/bin/
export PATH=$PATH:/Users/admin/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools/adb.exe
[[ -s “$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm” ]] && source “$HOME/.rvm/scripts/rvm” # Load RVM into a shell session as a function
source ~/.profile

Below is the error log…

Hi,

Did you resolve the issue, even I’m facing similar problem

Thanks & Regards,
Vikram

In my case, the environment variable was,
ANDROID_HOME=:\Users…\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
Obviously c: missing. Appium could not locate build-tools directory.

I changed ANDROID_HOME to c:\Users…\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk
It worked fine.

I can not believe, I configured it wrong.
Did some software install mess it up?

May be I did it.

Still dont know what the problem is but I could run it starting Appium from command line instead of desktop app.
Cheers

notice:

no such file or directory, scandir ‘/Users/username/Library/
Android/sdk/build-tools’

This may be because environmental variables messed up as happened to me.

I think PATH has problem. Check in the path one of the settings does not
include c: or drive name relevant.

For me ANDROID_HOME was the culprit.

If you have a problem, send me PATH. I will have a look.
