Hello,

I am new to robot framework.

I am using ride for my tests. I have installed AppiumLibrary. I am trying to launch the app on android but, it is not working.

I specify the keyword:

Open Application ${REMOTE\_URL},platform:${PLATFORM\_NAME},platformVersion:${PLATFORM\_VERSION},deviceName:${DEVICE\_NAME},app:${APP}

and my variables are:

${REMOTE\_URL} value: [http://localhost:4723/wd/hub](http://localhost:4723/wd/hub)  
${PLATFORM\_NAME} value - Android  
${DEVICE\_NAME} value - Android Emulator  
$APP value - E:\apks\w2p-new

I get the error as FAIL : BadStatusLine: ’ ’

Please let me know what am i doing wrong here.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Appium server ver - 1.4.0  
Appium client - 1.2.7  
Python - 2.7

Thanks in advance
