Issues/Bugs
1

Hi All

I am trying to run a simple script to launch chrome browser and open facebook website using latest appium client and server verision. My Details are below

Appium Version : 1.6.3 (I am running it on Terminal using npm appium)
Appium Client Version : 4.1.2
OS : Mac
Android Version : 6.0.1

Script:

public class LaunchDefaultBrowserTest {

AndroidDriver driver;

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();

@BeforeClass
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException {
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_NAME, Platform.ANDROID);
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.PLATFORM_VERSION, "6.0.1");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.DEVICE_NAME, "Redmi Note 3");
    capabilities.setCapability(MobileCapabilityType.BROWSER_NAME, MobileBrowserType.CHROME);
    driver = new AndroidDriver(new URL("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub"), capabilities);
    driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(60, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}

@Test
public void testLaunchingDefaultBrowserAndroid() throws Exception {
    driver.get("http://facebook.com");
    System.out.println(driver.getTitle());
    System.out.println();

}

@AfterClass
public void tearDown() {
    driver.quit();
    System.out.println("Driver Session is closed");
}

}

Update the chrome driver and re-run.Go to C:\Program Files(x86)\Appium\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-chromedriver\chromedriver\win\ for replacing.
