Could not connect to server to Appium server

[Iniyavans]

I have updated my Appium v2.0.0-beta.58, and also installed a new Appium inspector.

Added all capabilities and paths. I am getting an error message when I try to start the session in Appium inspector:

"Could not connect to the server; are you sure it’s running? If you are using the browser version, also ensure your Appium server has been started with --allow-cors."

As mentioned on GitHub and some other documentation references, I tried to start the Appium server with --allow-cors by using the command: appium --allow-cors. Still, I can see the same error. and also I update my node js also. But the error is not to be resolved.

Still, I see the same issue. I updated my node.js also.

Please help me to understand what is the issue.

These are my desired capabilities:
{
“platformName”: “Android”,
“appium:platformVersion”: “11”,
“appium:deviceName”: “Xiaomi 220116SI”,
“appium:automationName”: “UiAutomator2”,
“appium:appPackage”: “com.application.user”,
“appium:appActivity”: “com.application.user.ui.activities.HomeActivity”
}

These are my Appium server details

And even I didn’t see any error details in the log also. Here I’ll attach the log details also

@Iniyavans

These are my Appium server details

Here(in the photo), where it says “Remote Path” delete the path and leave it empty(meaning just /)
First of all, “allow cors” won’t help you since you are not using the browser…
The default server path for appium2.X is / (without wd/hub)

[Iniyavans]

Hi ido_oserovitz, Thanks for your reply.

I tried that way, but still I can see the same error.

Can you please check that

Why you change default Remote host from 127.0.0.1 (localhost) to 127.0.0.0?

[ido_oserovitz]

@Oleg_Guzenko is correct.
You can delete all of the followings: Remote Host, Remote Path, Remote Port (it will use the default values).
Then, make sure you start your appium server(just run appium without specifying any port) and it should work for you.

[Iniyavans]

Hi Oleg, Actually I run the appium with 127.0.0.0. That’s why I change the Remote host.

And also I’ll share my appium doctor’s result and installed drivers

[Iniyavans]

@ido_oserovitz Hi, Actually I didn’t specify any port to run Appium. I just run Appium by using the terminal. not in an Appium GUI. And I just reinstall the Appium inspector also. It has a default Remote host as a 127.0.0.0, not a 127.0.0.1

[ido_oserovitz]

0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.0 are two different ips…
I wrote here what to do: Could not connect to server to Appium server
If you’ll follow, it will work, just try it, you have nothing to lose and you asked for help…
you can change inspector’s address to: 0.0.0.0 as well. it should work.

[Iniyavans]

@ido_oserovitz Thank you so much, man. It’s working now!

[Iniyavans]

But @ido_oserovitz, It’s working only on an Android studio emulator, If I try the same on Real devices, it’s not connected. I’ll share the log also, kindly check it.

Check this thread

Issue: Realme 3 Pro : Error : java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denial: writing to settings requires:android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS

Maybe you are not enable usb debugging. And usb debugging for Xiaomi need Xiaomi account…

Hi guys,

1. If your Appium Desktop Inspector is downloaded separately, launch the appium server.
   
   
   
   2.Remote Path: If you set /wd/hub, delete it; If not, set it to /wd/hub.
2. Try to delete everything in “Remote Host”, “Remote Port”, “Remote Path”, leave them blank to guarantee that they are the defaults.

I facing this issue several times in windows at last I fixed it. if Appium server running stop the server then “Remote Host”, “Remote Port”, “Remote Path”, leave them blank
then start Appium server. It’s working
