bug: "Invalid or unsupported WebDriver capabilities found ("undefined")" displayed immediately when attempting to connect
Closed this issue · 1 comments
Is this an issue specifically with Appium Inspector?
- I have verified that my issue does not occur with Appium, and should be investigated as an Appium Inspector issue
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
I have a newly installed appium server which works fine with the stock Python test script:
https://appium.io/docs/en/2.2/quickstart/test-py/
Attempting to run the inspector and point it at the server (either via the local server machine or a remote host using the proper IP address) ALWAYS displays this error message when attempting to connect:
"Invalid or unsupported WebDriver capabilities found ("undefined"). Ensure to only use valid W3C WebDriver capabilities (see https://w3c.github.io/webdriver/#capabilities).If you run your tests on a remote vendor, like Sauce Labs or BrowserStack, make sure that you put them into vendor specific capabilities, e.g. "sauce:options" or "bstack:options". Please reach out to to your vendor support team if you have further questions."
Note - this error message is displayed regardless of what actual remote host IP address is specified - even bogus IPs w/out any appium servers running.
Expected Behavior
I assume it is supposed to connect to my appium server, retrieve the current screen and show me something useful.

Never mind, missed in the documentation where I needed to setup the capabilities
