{
        // capabilities for local Appium web tests on an Android Emulator
        platformName: 'Android',
        browserName: 'Chrome',

        'appium:platformVersion': '12.0',

    }

What happened?

I tried to run the example e2e test template on an Android Emulator but it seems to fail anyways. I tried to change to different Node.js versions, deleting Node.js and reinstalling it from scratch and reinstalling Appium but nothing seems to work.
