Here you go,
- Go to adb.js in the path ‘node_modules//appium/node_modules/appium-adb/lib/adb.js’
*Find the below
ADB.prototype.shell = function (cmd, cb) {
if (cmd.indexOf(’"’) === -1) {
cmd = ‘"’ + cmd + ‘"’;
}
var execCmd = ‘shell ’ + cmd;
this.exec(execCmd, cb);
};
Append the below
ADB.prototype.shell_grep = function (cmd, grep, cb) {
if (cmd.indexOf(’"’) === -1) {
cmd = ‘"’ + cmd + ‘"’;
}
var execCmd = 'shell ’ + cmd + '| grep ’ + grep;
this.exec(execCmd, cb);
};
2 Find the 'ADB.prototype.getPIDsByName ’ and replace the whole section
ADB.prototype.getPIDsByName = function (name, cb) {
logger.debug(“Getting all processes with '” + name + “’”);
this.shell_grep(“ps”, name, function (err, stdout) {
if (err) {
logger.debug(“No matching processes found”);
return cb(null, []);
}
var pids = [];
_.each(procs, function (proc) {
var match = /[^\t ]+[\t ]+([0-9]+)/.exec(proc);
if (match) {
pids.push(parseInt(match[1], 10));
}
});
if (pids.length !== procs.length) {
var msg = "Could not extract PIDs from ps output. PIDS: " +
JSON.stringify(pids) + ", Procs: " + JSON.stringify(procs);
return cb(new Error(msg));
}
cb(null, pids);
});
};
Hope this works
