I am facing this error while running the java mobile automation test case with appium

mvn -Dtest=SavedPhotosTest  test -DFILEPATH="sample.apk"

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: packageAndLaunchActivityFromManifest failed. Original error: Could not find aapt Please set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable with the Android SDK root directory path. (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information)

I've set the ANDROID_HOME in my .bashrc already

export ANDROID_HOME=/home/user/Android/Sdk
export PATH=${PATH}:$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools

appium is also running on the another terminal

Configurations:

IntelliJ IDE --> ideaIC-2017.2.4 Android-studio --> android-studio-ide-162.4069837-linux appium --> 1.7.1

I've already tried the following links:

  • Try command `find -name aapt` in your `$ANDROID_HOME` and you'll find it's in `build-tools//`. – Lym Zoy Oct 13 '17 at 08:22
  • Hey @LymZoy It's return like this ./build-tools/26.0.2/aapt. What to do with this? – ARods Oct 13 '17 at 08:33
  • Append `/26.0.2` to `$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools` in your `$PATH` variable. – Lym Zoy Oct 13 '17 at 09:00
  • Already tried that. It's not working. appium-settings app opened and closed suddenly. then the ANDROID_HOME error thrown. – ARods Oct 13 '17 at 09:11
  • Sorry, I only know how to solve your `$ANDROID_HOME` problem. I have no experience with appium. – Lym Zoy Oct 13 '17 at 09:15

I was getting same issue. Appium was not able to locate ANDROID_HOME env variable. In my case reason behind this issue was I was running appium with sudo access on my linux machine. If you are running with root privilege, try running without it.

Source it.

source .bashrc

If you did, try reopening every terminal and android studio.
