App not opening on test execution

Support

Hey, im new to Appium so sorry if this is a dumb question, but when I try to execute a test the application used by the test its not opening, therefore the test fail.

I used the same caps on the Appium inspector and it launches the application easily ( both with a apk for a fresh install and the appPackage) but when I run with “node test.js” it never opens anything.

If I open the app manually on the phone and then execute the test it runs without any problem.

Any ideas?

Sorry, but the debug logs are the logs displayed in the Appium server right?

I don’t fully understand them but I don’t see any error ultil it search for the element, which is not found because the app its not open.

had to remove the “appium:” from the caps for the test to execute
