I have started two appium servers as below on my machine:

node . -p 4491 -bp 2252 -U 4100
node . -p 4492 -bp 2251 -U 4df1

What configuration changes i need to make in desired capabilities to run my tests parallel on single machine? Below is my desired capabilities file right now

desired_caps = {
caps: {
name: test_name,
deviceName: ‘Android Emulator’ ,
platformName: ‘Android’,
app_wait_activity: ‘.authenticator.ui.AuthenticatorActivity’,
udid: ‘410011133ebf9f00’,
}
}
Appium::Driver.new(desired_caps).start_driver
Appium.promote_appium_methods Object
return driver

Hey Guys,

This can be solved by mentioning the the port, bootstrapPort and device id in desired capabilities. Below is my appium.txt file for the same.

[caps]
platformName = “Android”
bootstrapPort = 2251
deviceName = “Android”
app = “/Users/…”
udid = “4df1…”

[appium_lib]
port = 4491

I can run different tests now on my machine.

Hello All,

I was able to run multiple tests on android in ruby. Uploaded the project to github: https://github.com/shankybnl/android_app. Follow the instructions in Read Me file. Hope this helps!

Thanks,
