in terminal check that path to android exists:

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/opt/ruby/bin:/Users/MY_USER/.gem/ruby/2.3.0/bin:/Users/MY_USER/Library/Android/sdk/tools:/Users/MY_USER/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:xxxx

see we have ‘Library/Android/sdk/tools’ + ‘Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools’

Hi

Appreciate for your prompt response . The issue got solved by keeping the Android simulator instance open and then tun the test

Thanks,
