From the log it looks like it’s unable to start the emulator and hence throwing that session not created. Try below steps:

  1. Start the emulator outside of code
  2. run the same test

I am assuming this should work. Once this is successful, pass the avdReady capability and set it to some higher time.

You can switch to a faster emulator like Genymotion or run the test on actual physical device.

Thanks,

Hi Nishant,
This is my first demo for Appium, Thank you very much for your help. But I didn’t understand your solution. “Start the emulator outside of code” what does this mean or how to start the emulator outside the code?
Another information is, I execute the command(C:\Windows\system32\cmd.exe /s /c “C:\Users\sxie\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe -s emulator-5554 shell “ps ‘uiautomator’””)in CMD, it show error: bad pid ‘uiautomator’. Not sure if this is the cause.

Now my step is:

  1. start the appium
  2. start the avd in Android studio
  3. run as Junit in Eclipse

resolved by this way:
adb.js(C:\Program Files (x86)\Appium\node_modules\appium\node_modules\appium-adb\lib\adb.js) 中1035 行this.shell(“ps '” + name + “’”, function (err, stdout) {
对应执行的指令是ps ‘uiautomator’, Android7不支持这个指令格式，所以执行结果是bad pid ‘uiautomator’
目前Appium未对此进行处理,所以需要修改此指令的执行方式
即将
this.shell(“ps '” + name + “’”, function (err, stdout) {
if (err) return cb(err);
替换成
this.shell_grep(“ps”, name, function (err, stdout) {

if (err) {

logger.debug(“No matching processes found”);
return cb(null, []);

}

并增加上面用到的shell_grep函数：
ADB.prototype.shell_grep = function (cmd, grep, cb) {
if (cmd.indexOf(’"’) === -1) {
cmd = ‘"’ + cmd + ‘"’;
}
var execCmd = 'shell ’ + cmd + '| grep ’ + grep;
this.exec(execCmd, cb);

};
