Appium server having an error detecting platform version when running tests

I'm trying to run the basic test script on the test app provided by appium. I am using a physical device (Nexus 6p) with android version 8.1.0. This is the code I'm trying to run (Node.js):

const wdio = require("webdriverio");

const opts = {
  port: 4723,
  capabilities: {
    platformName: "Android",
    platformVersion: "8.1.0",
    deviceName: "Nexus 6P",
    app: "C:/Users/JH044350/Documents/Node/ApiDemos-debug.apk",
    automationName: "UiAutomator2"
  }
};

const client = wdio.remote(opts);

start = async function () {
  const elementId = await client.findElement("accessibility id", "TextField1"); client.elementSendKeys(elementId.ELEMENT, "Hello World!");
  const elementValue = await client.findElement("accessibility id", "TextField1");
  await client.getElementAttribute(elementValue.ELEMENT, "value").then((attr) => {
    assert.equal(attr, "Hello World!");
  });
}

After running the code, and watching the client and server side-by-side, an error occurs this is what is shown in the client section:

    ERROR webdriver: Request failed due to unknown error: An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: Error getting device platform version.

And this is what I'm getting on the appium server logs:

The main error seems to be it being unable to find the platform version of the phone. when i run the code they are tryingg adb shell getprop ro.build.version.release I get the correct out put (8.1.0). I would like any help I could get to steer me in the right direction.

Solution

  • This issue was solved by downgrading adb version. The above was attempted using adb versions 1.0.39 and then 1.0.40. I downloaded adb 1.0.36 from xda developers and copied and pasted the files to my platform-tools folder and replaced the duplicates. After running the test again. It was completed successfully without issues. It seems appium isn’t compatible with the new adb. Maybe it’s the new command set in the newer adb versions, as some of the older commands were deprecated.
