Cannot instantiate the type AppiumDriver

mitsram · October 10, 2014, 9:38am

return new AppiumDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);

Is there any changes in version 1.2.4.1 in using AppiumDriver?

Priyank_Shah · October 10, 2014, 9:41am

If u r using JavaClient 2.0. so just instead of appiumDriver, just replace with AndroidDriver();

Thanks,
Priyank Shah

mitsram · October 10, 2014, 9:42am

I’ve done that, but I have this error:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.substituteMobilePlatform(Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;

Can u provide more details. in the meantime u can refer this code.

also go through pom.xml to resolve dependencies.

Hello,

Did you manage to solve the problem? I am having the same issue, when trying to define an AndroidDriver i get

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.substituteMobilePlatform(Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;

Liviu_Fodor · October 13, 2014, 12:17pm

I realised my above post does not have sufficient details, I will try to provide that.
I am using java-client-2.0.0, selenium 2.43.1 and junit 4.11 libraries, and i have written the most basic driver definition i can think of, seen below:

@Test
public void test_123() throws Exception{
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
AndroidDriver driver=new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”), capabilities);
System.out.println(“success”);
}

And the error, as described above is

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.substituteMobilePlatform(Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;

As i am sort of a beginner when it comes to Appium i could really use some help or at least guidance in how to solve this.

Liviu_Fodor · October 14, 2014, 11:55am

Update:

If i run my project via Ant everything works fine. The error only occurs when trying to run the project from Eclipse. This is quite strange as i checked and all the settings seem fine, and nothing i did changed the outcome.
I will keep trying as I really want to be able to run from eclipse for the debug options, but if anyone knows a solution, that would be highly appreciated.

SenhorCastor · October 22, 2014, 12:22am

Same here, for now I just have my own AndroidDriver class that extends from AppiumDriver where scrollTo and scrollToExact are not implemented.

jonahss · October 22, 2014, 12:45am

I use intellij when working on it…

Baubak_G · February 11, 2015, 9:00am

Hi all,

I used to have the error until recently, and could not for the life of me fathom what was wrong. The problem arised because there was a mishmash of clients 1.7 and 2.1

In other words, inadvertadly I has both java-client 1.7 & java-client 2.1 in my classpath.

The error:

NoSuchMethodError: io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.substituteMobilePlatform

Comes when you use IOSDriver (found in 2.1) and the appiumdriver is found in java-client 1.7…

AjitJ · February 11, 2015, 11:38am

I am facing same Error for Windows Can You please resolve it My Code IS:

package test.java.io.appium.test.workshop;

import org.junit.Before;
import org.junit.Test;

public class AndroidMobileWebTest extends SauceTestClass {

@Before
public void setUp() throws Exception {
    System.out.println("CP______________2");
    
    capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android Emulator");
    capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.4");
    capabilities.setCapability("browserName", "Browser");
    
    System.out.println("CP______________3");
    
    super.setUpAndroidDriver();
    
    System.out.println("CP______________4");
    
}

@Test
public void basicAndroidWebTest() throws Exception {
    runWebTest();
    System.out.println("CP______________1");
}

}

NawazShareef_Shaik · March 9, 2015, 10:49am

I’m getting the same error after updating to Java-Client-2.1.0

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver.substituteMobilePlatform(Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;Ljava/lang/String;)Lorg/openqa/selenium/Capabilities;

I’m getting error only when I run scripts through ANT…
Scripts runs fine when I run with TestNG…

public AndroidDriver initiateDriver() {
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability(“app-package”, package_Name);
caps.setCapability(“device”, “selendroid”);
caps.setCapability(“app-activity”, activity_Name);
caps.setCapability(“takesScreenshot”, true);
caps.setCapability(“device ID”, “uniquedeviceid”);
caps.setCapability(“app”, apK_Loc);
caps.setCapability(“platformName”, “Android”);
caps.setCapability(“deviceName”, “GT-I9300”);
caps.setCapability(“newCommandTimeout”, “500”);
caps.setCapability(“platformVersion”, “4.3”);
try
{
driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL(“http://localhost:4723/wd/hub”), caps);
}
catch (MalformedURLException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return driver;
}

Any solutions plz…

Fayizkc · June 2, 2015, 1:43pm

What are all jars you are using for this project and what classes you are importing…

Rock · June 9, 2015, 12:19pm

Hi all,

As per the screenshot, can anyone please help me on fixing ‘desired capabilities’ as I am getting error.

Rakesh_Kirola · September 15, 2015, 2:47pm

If you are using the latest java client,write your code as :

import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;
import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public class Test {

@SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
public static AndroidDriver<MobileElement> driver;

public static void main(String[] args) throws MalformedURLException {
	// TODO Auto-generated method stub
	
	DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
	capabilities.setCapability("deviceName", "Android");
	capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "5.1.1");
	capabilities.setCapability("platformName", "Android");
	capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.google.android.dialer");
	capabilities.setCapability("appActivity", "com.google.android.dialer.extensions.GoogleDialtactsActivity");
	
	 driver = new AndroidDriver<MobileElement>(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"),capabilities);
	
	WebElement frameLayout = driver.findElement(By.id("com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox:id/layout"));
	//WebElement HorizontalScrollView =  frameLayout.findElement(By.className("android.widget.HorizontalScrollView"));
	List<WebElement> actionTab = frameLayout.findElements(By.className("android.view.View"));
	actionTab.get(2).click();
	//driver.findElement(By.linkText(linkText)

}
