Issues/Bugs

Hello

I’ve updated Java client for Appium Mobile Webdriver from version 7.3.0 to 7.5.1.
After that I’ve gotten error wile starting Appium server (start()).

\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\build\lib\main.js: error: argument -dc/--default-capabilities: invalid parseDefaultCaps value: '{appWaitDuration:30000,autoGrantPermissions:true,newCommandTimeout:600,printPageSourceOnFindFailure:true,udid:emulator-5554}'

AppiumServiceBuilder serviceBuilder = new AppiumServiceBuilder();
serviceBuilder.usingAnyFreePort();
serviceBuilder.withIPAddress("127.0.0.1");
serviceBuilder.withArgument(GeneralServerFlag.RELAXED_SECURITY);
serviceBuilder.withStartUpTimeOut(10, TimeUnit.SECONDS);

DesiredCapabilities appiumCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("udid", d.getSerial());
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("newCommandTimeout", 600);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("printPageSourceOnFindFailure", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("clearSystemFiles", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("autoGrantPermissions", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("appWaitDuration", 30000);
serviceBuilder.withCapabilities(appiumCapabilities);
AppiumDriverLocalService apDev = AppiumDriverLocalService.buildService(serviceBuilder);
apDev.start();

appium -v
1.21.0

Windows 10
Java 8

Versions 7.4.0, 7.4.1, 7.5.0 fall with the same error.

This is expected. You should escape the arguments manually there or explicitly enable the automated escaping feature. See https://github.com/appium/java-client/pull/1454 for more details.

Thank you.

It works.

appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"udid\"", "\"" + d.getSerial() + "\"");
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"newCommandTimeout\"", 600);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"printPageSourceOnFindFailure\"", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"clearSystemFiles\"", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"autoGrantPermissions\"", true);
appiumCapabilities.setCapability("\"appWaitDuration\"", 30000);
