I am getting below error in appium inspector when I try to open appium inspector:  
**[sessionCapabilities()] Error response status: 6, Selenium error: Session does not exist**

Please not that my automation code is running successfully.I am trying to launch inspector while the script is running.

I am using appium 1.2.3 desktop with server 1.7.1,Xcode-9,iOS-11,IPhone 7 Plus real device.

Can anyone help me on this?  
Thanks in advance,  
Deepak

If you want to launch inspector while script is running use the same Appium session id in Inspector which your Automation script is using.
