Hi
I can’t run test with appium and android
Where:
- Ubuntu 14.04 32-bit
- Appium 1.4.16
- Genymotion (Android 4.3, 5.0) & Real device (Android 5.1.1)
- Robot framework
When I run test, I get:
WebDriverException: Message: A new session could not be
created. (Original error: UiAutomator quit before it successfully
launched)
In appium logs:
info: [debug] spawning:
/home/vitalii/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb -s
192.168.57.101:5555 shell uiautomator runtest AppiumBootstrap.jar -c
io.appium.android.bootstrap.Bootstrap -e pkg com.test.app -e
disableAndroidWatchers false

error: UiAutomator quit before it successfully launched

error: Failed to start an Appium session, err was: Error: UiAutomator quit before it successfully launched
From the google by same error, I found that problem is in runned uiautomator. In appium logs I see, that there is killing of uiautomator:
info: Starting App
info: [debug] Attempting to kill all ‘uiautomator’ processes
info: [debug] Getting all processes with ‘uiautomator’
info: [debug] executing cmd: /home/vitalii/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb -s 192.168.57.101:5555 shell “ps ‘uiautomator’”
info: [debug] No matching processes found
But if I run in console:
adb -s 192.168.57.101:5555 shell “ps ‘uiautomator’”
nothing will be found. And if search as:
adb -s 192.168.57.101:5555 shell “ps | grep ‘uiautomator’”
found:
u0_a60 1658 196 1010928 43344 ffffffff f76ebf75 S com.github.uiautomator
If I made adb kill for this process and run command, that fails in appium:
info: [debug] spawning:
/home/vitalii/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb -s
192.168.57.101:5555 shell uiautomator runtest AppiumBootstrap.jar -c
io.appium.android.bootstrap.Bootstrap -e pkg com.test.app -e
disableAndroidWatchers false
I see no errors!
But I run test and it fails again. That’s mean test starts uiautomator again and doesn’t kill it.
Found that function of searching PID probably was changed after this comment
I have this problem with Genymotion emulator and real device.
Please help with any suggestions what to do.
