Device cannot be detected by appium when running test?

michelleespiritu · February 15, 2016, 1:56am

It is my first time to try appium script. I have installed all the necessary requirements and have made a sample script. I connected a physical device through usb and started appium. However my script fails because the device cannot be detected.

Please see appium log below:

Would appreciate your inputs on this. Thank you!

For connecting a physical device drivers for thatr device needs to be installed.
You can also use software like PDANetFor Desktop for installing the drivers.
Once your drivers are installed you can verify that your device is connected by using command “adb devices”.Also make sure your device in USB debugging mode before connecting.
Once drivers are installed and device is in Debugging mode a pop up will come in your device when you will connect it. Accept the pop up.

Hi!

I already installed the driver and already allowed USB debugging, unfortunately it still doesn’t detect the device I connected. I still get the same logs I posted earlier.

Amit · February 15, 2016, 12:23pm

Does a Pop up comes in your while connecting through usb giving the Key details.
After running command adb devices in command prompt is your device listed.

michelleespiritu · February 15, 2016, 1:00pm

Hi Amit,

I opened my cmd and called the adb devices command.

C:\>adb devices
List of devices attached
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
F8AZCY20A759    unauthorized

The Allow USB debugging popup showed up on the device, and I clicked ok. Now I tried to call adb devices again and this showed up:

C:\>adb devices
List of devices attached
F8AZCY20A759    device

Now I took note of the port number and placed it in the appium configuration:

C:\>appium --address 127.0.0.1 --port 5037
error: Couldn't start Appium REST http interface listener. Requested port is alr
eady in use. Please make sure there's no other instance of Appium running alread
y.

I placed adb kill-server to kill the 5037 instance and tried to run the same appium command earlier.

C:\>appium --address 127.0.0.1 --port 5037
info: Welcome to Appium v1.4.16 (REV ae6877eff263066b26328d457bd285c0cc62430d)

Now when I try to run the script that I mentioned earlier, I still get the same results from earlier.

Hi Michie

In your script you have set the device name capability as Asus
Actual Device Name is as given by adb device command is “F8AZCY20A759”
So try setting device Name Capability as
capabilities.SetCapability(“deviceName”, “F8AZCY20A759”);

Abdul_Sathar_Beigh · February 16, 2016, 6:56am

Hi michelleespiritu,

Please remove above capabilities, its not required and won’t be recognized by the Appium.

Add this one:- capabilities.SetCapability(“udid”, “F8AZCY20A759”); and try running your script.

Hope this resolves your issue.

Regards,
@Abdul_Sathar_Beigh

Hi michelleespiritu,

There are no such a capabilities called “device” and “platform” for appium as I know.
appium-server capabilities
appium-android capabilities
Remove those and try it.
