HI vaibhav_khachane

Try Opening the uiautomatorviewer as well and try to run the Appium Inspector…
and also please verify that “192.168.0.114:4723” the same address should be there in the appium settings .

This might fix ur problem.

make sure to add the same URL both in Appium Settings and Code

say Example : http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub in both Appium settings and ur
code.

Note : you have given the ip address as 192.168.0.114 and port is 4723 in
settings and http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub in ur code …make sure both
matches…

Can anyone provide me step by step execution flow of appium . Because i am very new in it. I am go through so many documents and videos but still not getting clear idea. I am working on windows 10 64 bit

14

The TestNG results show “Failures: 0”. What’s failing? Do you have any actions or validations in a “@Test” method?

15

@leppo No action for @Test. I have mentioned whole source code here.

16

Does the app launch on your phone?

17

No…getting above errors.

18

You may need to define the appPackage and appActivity in your desired capabilities.

19

While adding path of apk…it couldn’t fetch package name and other things. What will need to do to rectify it
