Here is the error message below.
[MJSONWP] Bad parameters: BadParametersError: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {“required”:[“desiredCapabilities”],“optional”:[“requiredCapabilities”,“capabilities”,“sessionId”,“id”]} and you sent [“desiredCapabilities”,“requiredCapabilities”,“capabilities”,“alwaysMatch”,“firstMatch”]

my eclipse code.

What version of Appium server are you running? And what version of the java client?

3

Thanks Brian for ur help. i am using Desktop version Appium v1.6.4

4

Make sure you are using the latest Appium java-client, later then 5.0.0-BETA6. Versions earlier resulted in a BadParametersError for me.

5

sorry i dont get it. what should i do now exactly. what is appium java-client?

6

It’s the library you include from your java code…

7

could you write me the syntax to include appium/java-client. should i include it through java build path in eclipse?

8

You are already importing it into your code. FRom your first sample you pasted above…

What version is it? Are you using maven or gradle? In my build.gradle I specify…

dependencies {
    compile 'io.appium:java-client:5.0.0-BETA7'
}

Thanks brian. The error says in appium server…
[MJSONWP] Bad parameters: BadParametersError: Parameters were incorrect. We wanted {“required”:[“desiredCapabilities”],“optional”:[“requiredCapabilities”,“capabilities”,“sessionId”,“id”]} and you sent [“desiredCapabilities”,“requiredCapabilities”,“capabilities”,“alwaysMatch”,“firstMatch”]

My eclipse code is.

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import java.io.File;
import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

import io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobileCapabilityType;
import io.appium.java_client.remote.MobilePlatform;

public class DesiredCapab {

@Test
public void test() throws MalformedURLException {
	File appDir = new File("src");
	File app = new File(appDir,"bookMyShow-ucb.apk");
	
	DesiredCapabilities cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, MobilePlatform.ANDROID);
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Android Emulator");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.NEW_COMMAND_TIMEOUT, "100");
	cap.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.APP, app.getAbsolutePath());
	
	AndroidDriver driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),cap);
	
}

}

This one solved my problem.
FYI, it worked when we add selenium standalone server 2.5. Not 3.3.1. I would imagine a fix is brewing for 3.3.1 or later. Thank you for trying to help.
