Execute the command in the error message in CMD:
The error message reported is: bad PID ‘uiautomator’
Solution:
1. Find ADB.JS file In the appium installation directory. directory:\appium\node_modules\appium\node_Modules\appium-ADB\lib
2. Open ADB.JS, find the following code:
ADB.prototype.shell = function (cmd, cb) { if (cmd.indexOf('"') === -1) { cmd = '"' + cmd + '"'; } var execCmd = 'shell ' + cmd; this.exec(execCmd, cb); };
3. Add the following code below the above code
//add ADB.prototype.shell_grep = function (cmd, grep, cb){ if (cmd.indexOf('"') == -1){ cmd = '"' + cmd + '"'; } var execCmd = 'shell' + cmd + '| grep ' + grep; this.exec(execCmd, cb); };
4. Find the following code:
ADB.prototype.getPIDsByName = function (name, cb) { logger.debug("Getting all processes with '" + name + "'"); this.shell("ps '" + name + "'", function (err, stdout) { if (err) return cb(err); stdout = stdout.trim(); var procs = []; var outlines = stdout.split("\n"); _.each(outlines, function (outline) { if (outline.indexOf(name) !== -1) { procs.push(outline); } }); if (procs.length < 1) { logger.debug("No matching processes found"); return cb(null, []); } var pids = []; _.each(procs, function (proc) { var match = /[^\t ]+[\t ]+([0-9]+)/.exec(proc); if (match) { pids.push(parseInt(match[1], 10)); } }); if (pids.length !== procs.length) { var msg = "Could not extract PIDs from ps output. PIDS: " + JSON.stringify(pids) + ", Procs: " + JSON.stringify(procs); return cb(new Error(msg)); } cb(null, pids); }); };
4. Comment out the above code, start with/* and end with */comment
5. Replace with the following code
//replace ADB.prototype.getPIDsByName = function (name, cb) { logger.debug("Getting all processes with '" + name + "'"); this.shell_grep("ps", name, function (err, stdout) { if (err) { logger.debug("No matching processes found"); return cb(null, []); } var pids = []; _.each(procs, function (proc) { var match = /[^\t ]+[\t ]+([0-9]+)/.exec(proc); if (match) { pids.push(parseInt(match[1], 10)); } }); if (pids.length !== procs.length) { var msg = "Could not extract PIDs from ps output. PIDS: " + JSON.stringify(pids) + ", Procs: " + JSON.stringify(procs); return cb(new Error(msg)); } cb(null, pids); }); };
6. Restart appium
