Below Is the Following Code:
private AppiumDriverLocalService service;
private AppiumServiceBuilder builder;
private DesiredCapabilities cap;
public void startServer() {
//Set Capabilities
cap = new DesiredCapabilities();
cap.setCapability("noReset", "false");
//Build the Appium service
builder = new AppiumServiceBuilder();
builder.withIPAddress("127.0.0.0");
builder.usingPort(4723);
builder.withCapabilities(cap);
builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE);
builder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.LOG_LEVEL,"error");
//Start the server with the builder
service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(builder);
service.start();
}
try the buildDefaultService(), to check if default appium service is working.
AppiumDriverLocalService service
service = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildDefaultService();
service.start();
I’ve already tried this ,it also giving me the Same Error.
io.appium.java_client.service.local.InvalidServerInstanceException: Invalid server instance exception has occured: There is no installed nodes!
I’m guessing it could be a Path Problem,which i’m not getting exactly where is the mess
to me it looks a permission issue, uninstall node and reinstall without using sudo or you can give the node path to Appium service builder.
take a look at AppiumServiceBuilder class in java client, also i checked path on my machine it shows /usr/local/bin/node
public final class AppiumServiceBuilder extends Builder<AppiumDriverLocalService, AppiumServiceBuilder> {
public static final String APPIUM_PATH = “APPIUM_BINARY_PATH”; public static final String NODE_PATH = “NODE_BINARY_PATH”;
public static final String DEFAULT_LOCAL_IP_ADDRESS = “0.0.0.0”;
private static final List PATH_CAPABILITIES = ImmutableList.of(“keystorePath”, “chromedriverExecutable”, “app”);
private static final String APPIUM_FOLDER = “appium”;
private static final String BUILD_FOLDER = “build”;
private static final S
NODE_HOME. Really? Where did this come from? I think you should add node’s location to your PATH variable. I did a quick search for NODE_HOME and couldn’t find any reference to that. Don’t just make stuff up and expect it to work.
/usr/bin/node. That is not the path. When giving a path you only need to specify the directory node is inside of. So if it’s really inside /usr/bin, that’s all you should need. However, on my Mac the path is /usr/local/bin/node, which would make the path /usr/local/bin <-you can find where node lives by typing: which node in the terminal.
If you don’t understand environment variables please read this:
I am facing the same/similar issue.
I am using IntelliJ IDEA 2022.1.4 (Community Edition) Which node returns: /Users/venkatanutalapati/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.0/bin/node
I defined a variable NODE_PATH=/Users/venkatanutalapati/.nvm/versions/node/v18.12.0/bin
and my path: export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:${NODE_PATH}:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin/appium:${JAVA_HOME}/bin:${GRADLE_HOME}/bin:$PATH
I am trying to start the appium programmatically like this:
*public AppiumDriverLocalService GetAppiumService() {
* GlobalParams params = new GlobalParams();
* return AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(new AppiumServiceBuilder()
* .usingAnyFreePort()
* .withArgument(() -> “–base-path”, “/wd/hub”)
* .withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.SESSION_OVERRIDE)
* .withLogFile(new File(params.getPlatformName() + “_”
* + params.getDeviceName() + File.separator + “Server.log”)));
* }
I am getting the following error when I run my testing.xml file

BTW, my appium version is [email protected]
Please help, where I am making the mistake.
Error gone:
Sometimes, when using Node Version Manager like nvm being used to install and maintain node and npm , you may need to download and install the same or higher version of node/npm being downloaded(in pkg form) from nodejs.org.
