Appium logcat capture failed: spawn ENOENT (no spaces in path)

Question

Here is my setup: Appium 1.3.7 on Windows, real Android device with 4.1.2, Eclipse, TestNG. Path to SDK without spaces. Sample calculator test

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability("BROWSER_NAME", "Chrome");
capabilities.setCapability("automationName", "Selendroid");
capabilities.setCapability("platformVersion", "4.1.2");
capabilities.setCapability("deviceName","0123456789ABCDEF");
capabilities.setCapability("platformName","Android");
capabilities.setCapability("appPackage", "com.android.calculator2");
capabilities.setCapability("appActivity","com.android.calculator2.Calculator); 

Note:

1. Removing the capabilities.setCapability("BROWSER_NAME", "Chrome"); line does not change anything
2. Path to SDK is added into PATH variable, so it works without setting ANDROID_HOME variable

Here is the server output:

Any ideas?

Answer 1

I suspect that you put the wrong path inside the PATH or/and ANDROID_HOME. You've received the warning

warn: The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set to the Android SDK root directory path. ANDROID_HOME is required for compatibility with SDK 23+. Checking along PATH for adb.

Please ensure that the PATH or/and ANDROID_HOME contains D:\Android\android-sdk but not D:\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools
