Re: [appium-discuss] Cannot launch app on device for second time.

[Jonathan Lipps]

Hi Rakesh,

Are you using latest from github or are you using Appium.app?

I'm definitely able to run any number of sessions, calling driver.quit in between, with no problem. How are you starting the server? Are you passing 'app' in with desiredCaps or as a command line parameter?

Hello 

Hmm. the previous query i sent vanished into this air.. so here it goes again..

I am running java scripts ( ruby show the same effect ) to launch an app and perform test using appium

BeforeTest {  

Webdriver launches app

 }

AfterTest {  Webdriver .quit }

Test1 {}

Test2 {}

In  Simulator, it runs as follows

BeforeTest

Test1

AfterTest

BeforeTest

Test2

AfterTest

But on device, it shows different behaviour

BeforeTest

Test1

AfterTest

BeforeTest   --> Error

I have found that whenever driver.quit() is called , next time app is not launched by the driver. So I manually have to kill the instance in iphone and then run the test. Is there any workaround ?

Thanks for any help.

Thats surprising Jonathan.

I use github, commit : 2a3fedf8d73e6d60adcff5c83dc18141cc290ed6

s

I tried with both --app parameter,

 and without --app  but with desiredcapabilites

Both cases, it does not work on DEVICE for second time, Did you try on device or simulator ?

Rakesh
