SOS Appium + Jenkins

[Miriam lopes]

Hi Everyone

Im trying to configure jenkins in order to run my tests. However im not able to get appium to start when executing the follow script (this script is on "execute shell"):

#Start appium server

appium_log=appium.log

appium_cmd="node <REPLACE_WITH_APPIUM_PATH>/appium/lib/server/main.js"

echo "[INFO] Appium command: $appium_cmd"

$appium_cmd &> $appium_log&

appium_pid=$!

#check if appium was successfully started

sleep 1

appium_pid_start=`ps -p $appium_pid | grep node | awk '{ print $1 }'`

if [ -z $appium_pid_start ] ; then

echo "[ERROR] Appium failed to start! Port $appiumport may be already in use. "

exit 1

fi

echo "[INFO] Appium started with pid: $appium_pid . Logging to: ${appium_log}"

# be sure to kill appium on script stop

trap "kill $appium_pid" SIGINT SIGTERM EXIT

However this always returns an error: " Appium failed to start! Port may be already in use. " But the appium did not start.. and when doind ps on the command line is possible to see that appium is not running.

Can you please help me out?
