PROBLEM:

When I run appium, I get this error:

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> appium --log appium.log --log-level error:debug --debug-log-spacing --async-trace

[ERROR] Unrecognized arguments: --async-trace

Can anyone help me please?

To see the server arguments, use:

appium server -h

By doing that you will see there is no --async-trace argument. Error looks appropriate.

That said, I can see that this was a supported option in Appium 1:

https://dpgraham.github.io/docs/en/writing-running-appium/server-args/index.html

–async-trace false Add long stack traces to log entries. Recommended for debugging only.

And by looking for ‘stack trace’ in the parameters for Appium 2 I do see this:

--long-stacktrace Add long stack traces to log entries. Recommended for debugging only.

Maybe that is what you are looking for.
