Appium Log Folder

[Anil Kumar]

Is there a way to get log folder location where appium might be capturing screenshots and other files? I have it using /tmp/appium-instruments/run 1, but seems like its changing now.

Basically, since appium has not been able to return screenshots in a reliable manner from real device, which I have implemented in our framework is to us "au.capture(somename)", where snapshot is successfully capture and placed in appium log folder. When my test execution is complete, I pull all files from this folder. Untill 0.8.5, this folder used to be /tmp/appium-instruments/run 1, but with 0.9.0, this has changed to some unique names. Is there a way to query appium server instance to know this folder location for current session?

It should remain in that static folder. I had the same issue and the
resolution was to not use a dynamic appium folder.

So, as of 0.9.1, does it stay in same static folder? Is there a way to get it returned, may be in capability? I have previous asked for UDID also to be returned in capabilities, if possible.

It should stay in the static folder. If it doesn't, that's a bug. If
you're trying to screenshot locally, you could use mobile:
localScreenshot.
