Dear Community & Support,
I have become very fond of Appium lately. When I wanted to speed up my test process the other day, I wanted to try starting Appium on my mac, from the terminal.
I’ve used
/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/MacOS/Appium --address 0.0.0.0 --port 4723 --session-override
This opens up the GUI nicely, terminal indicating its ready state on the back. The server doesn’t seem to start listening to port 4723, however. What am I missing?
(I’ve looked at similar issues, but they seem to be about starting lib/main.js with node, which would also be an option for me, if I knew how to provide the arguments for it)
UPDATE (fallback solution):
I’ve installed the node module of the same version using
npm install [email protected] -g
The executable “appium”, although on a slightly obscure version path, runs with the given arguments and listens upon startup, as intended. If the original issue cannot be solved easily, I’ll fall back to using this approach.
Best,
Danny
