Which capabilities are you using?
`capabilities: [
{
// capabilities for local Appium web tests on an Android Emulator
platformName: "Android",
// browserName: "Chrome",
"appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2",
"appium:options": {
udid: "emulator-5554",
},
port: 4724,
},
],`
Above code is the worked one but if we move automationName inside "appium:options" the error will occur for E.g.
`capabilities: [
{
// capabilities for local Appium web tests on an Android Emulator
platformName: "Android",
// browserName: "Chrome",
// "appium:automationName": "UiAutomator2",
"appium:options": {
udid: "emulator-5554",
automationName: "UiAutomator2",
},
port: 4724,
},
],`What happened?
While running test the @wdio/appium-service will skip launching appium server if we have the capabilities with automationName inside "appium:options"
