As mentioned on GitHub and some other documentation references, I tried to start the Appium server with --allow-cors by using the command: appium --allow-cors. Still, I can see the same error. and also I update my node js also. But the error is not to be resolved.
@Oleg_Guzenko is correct.
You can delete all of the followings: Remote Host, Remote Path, Remote Port (it will use the default values).
Then, make sure you start your appium server(just run appium without specifying any port) and it should work for you.
i was able to see that mobile device got registered as node to grid and the same showed up in grid console. But the problem is when i tried to execute the script it failed saying that appium could not be started at 4723. in my code i am launching the appium server and then actions are performed on the device. I think there is a problem as node is already launched at the same port as per the nodeconfig.json.
I have 2 nodeconfig.json files each having the config of devices. I am starting 2 appium servers with different node config specified in general settings. When i check the grid console i see that both the devices are appearing as Node.
I just used Appium-desktop to see logs during the connection with my smartphone and Appium-inspector to inspect the DOM too, I'm new in this exercise and I search a lot without any result for the moment. I can see my smartphone is well connected and the server seems to work.
Can I start 2 appium server instances on my machine at the same time so that I can execute my test script simultaneously on 2 different devices connected to the machine? Actually what I'm trying is to run my test script on 2 devices connected to same windows machine. For this I am using TestNG to pass the Android Driver url to start session. This url will be dynamic as 2 devices will be using 2 Appium server instances. Can I create 2 instances of Appium server at same time? If so then can I use code to create those instances as I don't want to use GUI to start it.
Connecting appium server to selenium grid for android Tutorials/Documentation hi, Is there a way to integrate appium with selenium grid? i am executing my scripts on android devices.using windows 7 and java. any inputs would be highly appreciated. Thanks and regards, M.Karthik

You can either use the selenium grid and for that you have plenty of links to follow or you can do your own implementation, in this last you need to launch n appium servers in different ports and connect the devices in proper server.
2.In Appium I can run the application in two different ports. But every time I need to hard code the port number like 4725, 4724. Is there any way to find the available port numbers in appium and also what is the range of port number. I mean from where it starts and where it ends. Example(4700-4800).
If you talking about the tests, you can use the grid or you build your code where you can store multiple drivers that you instantiate, one for each server/device with different capabilities (android vs ios)
how do you do that, i am having a hard time to do that with simulator. would you be able to share your config file? This is what i am trying to do - -two-appium-apps-at-the-same-time-and-doing-end-to-end-tests-on-them
I tried killing the process as told above node.js I didn't find the node.js running.One solution I would like to share ,which worked for me is ....try setting different port numbers in appium setting ex:4725 is default there change it to 4726 ...It will run next time if you face the same issue change back to earlier 4725.
I am running below code pn my mac no error but appium is not started as well.
Where as if i involve from terminal this command : /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node_modules/appium/bin/appium.js --address 127.0.0.1 --port 4723 --no-reset --local-timezone

Hi Simon!
Could you share the details I am new to Mac-Os. I am trying to run appium in background I have written script which will run in background even if we close the terminal.
I tried it with automator but i cannot see node process running in activity control
how can I achieve with startup items.?
It is desperately needed to conclude in my standup call.
Hi al007!
Could you share the complete script (.plist) I am desperately needed this to run in background along with session override as we are automating appium and selenium for android tests.
I have written the script which will run in background even if terminal close but i need this at startup

After Appium server is stopped, you can close the Appium Server GUI window. With this we complete the Appium Server GUI download and installation process. Try it out and let us know if you face any issues while setting up Appium Desktop. You can also share your feedback with us with using the comments section. Your feedback will go a long way in helping us improve our articles and make it more useful to all our readers.
The logs are only available if you have the security settings to allow this. It seems you have to start the server with a few flags --relaxed-security , or be more specific about it by reading this link. -running-appium/security.md
So I tried to start appium server with command (I added the flag of scurity you suggested):
os.system("start /B start cmd.exe @cmd /k appium --relaxed-security --log-timestamp --log appium.log -a 127.0.0.1 -p 4728")
I could see some logs in terminal but not so much than Appium GUI server.

It looks like you run appium inside your test tool, so just adding those 2 flags should do what you want. What worries me, is that you probably tried that already and did not get joy the first time.
As mentioned on github I tried to start Appium server with --allow-cors using command : appium --allow-cors
Still I see same issue. I updated my node.js also.
Please helpme to understand what is the issue.
I'm trying to setup Appium server to stat automatically after system startup. Also I'd like it to restart after a crash. Appium was installed as a npm package and it launches and works fine when I type "appium" in terminal.
For some reason this did not start appium server, I cannot connect to it. The "launchctl list" command reported that my task exited with 78 status code, but in Appium's documentation I cannot find what's meant by this exit code.
It sounds like you can spawn multiple Appium servers on different ports connected to different devices, then have multiple capabilities in our test scripts for each device.
If I want multiple test commands running on various devices at once, I can just multi-thread them. Sounds plausible.
I used self developed automation server and UIAutomator handles for android and xctest handles for iOS inside device! I must say it is awesome! you may automate your device from anywhere just connect to automation server from your device!
@Raj_Kumar YOU CAN AUTOMATE ONE DEVICE WITH ONE SERVER OF APPIUM.
@nagendaredi If you want multiple device you need to start multiple appium servers with different PORTS and you need to create multiple clients(java threads) to support that each of the server!
I would used AKKA library to achieve this over java multithreading. you can even communicate between threads very easily and synchronize multiple test runs for even inter-device (swarm)test runs!(i.e. Device1 you do something and see its effect on Device 2!)

Earlier I used to install Appium and able to see the Appium folder and the Appium.js file, where as in the new Appium desktop version V1.7.2 downloaded using .msi, now not able to see the Appium folder where it is installed either program files ( or program files x86 too). Pls let me know where I can find the same Appium.js file in the latest appium. Trying to automate the appium server through java code to that we need appium.js and node.exe paths where that are located
Note: In case of starting more than one server instance on the same machine, you have to replace the killall command to prevent killing the server of the first instance after staring a second one. Sadly I hit a dead-end in this part (I am currently leaving the server instances opened and I close them manually after the test is done until I find a better approach to killing the server in a more smart way).
For creating CI solution for our mobile apps we plan to run tests using appium. We will thus require the appium server to be continuously running for test script execution after every apk/ipa file is generated.
This can be done by starting the appium server through the appium app/command line but that will mean that there is always a window open and if someone accidentally closes them/restarts the server than our test scripts will fail.
