Appium inspector for android on MAC os - why it does not working?

[Maria Machlowska]

I am doing everything like in this instruction (System Setup Android). I have followed also this bug, to start the inspector properly: "you'll need app path with the .apk, android package, android activity, and pre-launch application (from prefs)"

I am getting the following error:  Could not pre-launch appium: Error: Could not find adb in tools, platform-tools, or build-tools under "/Users/mariann/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk/ "; do you have android SDK installed into this location?

I have my environment variables set in all shells (.bash_profile, .bashrc, .profile). Is there any way to start appium inspector for android?
I can't run my test properly, because it can not find an elements.

Thanks for all your ideas/advices.

Try setting the Android SDK path in your Appium.app preferences. I think this issue can sometimes happen with people that customize their shell too much or use something other than bash.

[Maria Machlowska]

Yes, I am using some other shells than bash unfortunately. I set the Android SDK path in Appium.app, it is the same path I have specified in my Android Developer Tools (Eclipse).

It doesn't work.

Did you confirm that the adb binary is found in /Users/mariann/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk/platform-tools/?

Yes, it is. I've checked it one more time recently.

Does the user you're running Appium as have permissions to read and execute those directories and files?

[Maria Machlowska]

Yes he has. I set this permission for him in directory informations options.

What does it say when you ls -l from the command line on that directory?

[Maria Machlowska]

When I am typing ls -l in the console on the directory /Users/mariann/Desktop/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20130917/sdk/platform-tools/, I get the output below:

Yeah those permissions look weird. I don't think we should be seeing the '@'.

[Maria Machlowska]

I don't know where should I change those permissions to fix it. ;/

Maybe try re-downloading the ADT
