Running Appium with quantum framework in local gives "Unable to create driver instance in 1st attempt"

I am relatively new to quantum framework and I was trying to set up an appium test through Quantum framework.

I have given below configuration in application.properties but when I am running it I am getting "Unable to create driver instance in 1st attempt".

remote.server=127.0.0.1
remote.port=4723
driver.name=appiumDriver
appium.capabilities.class=io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver
appium.capabilities.deviceName=Nexus 5X API 24
appium.capabilities.appPackage=com.android.calculator2
appium.capabilities.platformName=android
appium.capabilities.appActivity=Calculator
driver.init.retry.timeout=60

Want to know how to call appium driver from this application. properties file

Solution

  • It looks you have given wrong capability name to set driver class. Capability name used by qaf to set driver class is driverClass. So instead of

    appium.capabilities.class=io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver

    try

    appium.capabilities.driverClass=io.appium.java_client.android.AndroidDriver

    Refer how to use driver and setting driver capabilities
