It is impossible to create a new session because 'createSession' which takes HttpClient, InputStream and long was not found or it is not accessible

[Prashanth]

Hi Guys,

I am using appium java client: 6.1.0
Appium Server: 1.8.1
facing below issue please help me to resolve it.

FAILED CONFIGURATION: @BeforeTest setUp
org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: It is impossible to create a new session because ‘createSession’ which takes HttpClient, InputStream and long was not found or it is not accessible
Build info: version: ‘3.13.0’, revision: ‘2f0d292’, time: ‘2018-06-25T15:24:21.231Z’

This is my code:
public class NewTest {
AndroidDriver driver;
@BeforeTest
public void setUp() throws MalformedURLException{
//Set up desired capabilities and pass the Android app-activity and app-package to Appium
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
capabilities.setCapability(“BROWSER_NAME”, “Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“VERSION”, “6.1”);
capabilities.setCapability(“deviceName”,“Samsung”);
capabilities.setCapability(“platformName”,“Android”);
capabilities.setCapability(“appPackage”, “com.android.calculator2”);
// This package name of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
capabilities.setCapability(“appActivity”,“com.android.calculator2.Calculator”); // This is Launcher activity of your app (you can get it from apk info app)
//Create RemoteWebDriver instance and connect to the Appium server
//It will launch the Calculator App in Android Device using the configurations specified in Desired Capabilities
URL url= new URL(“http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub”);

	driver = new AndroidDriver<WebElement>(url, capabilities);
	driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(15, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
}
@Test
public void testCal() throws Exception {
   //locate the Text on the calculator by using By.name()
   WebElement two=driver.findElement(By.name("2"));
   two.click();
   WebElement plus=driver.findElement(By.name("+"));
   plus.click();

}

@AfterClass
public void teardown(){
	//close the app
	driver.quit();
}

}

Even i am also encountering same error

[Neko_qwe]

Faced the same error today. The problem was in connecting Appium to adb. Check if your PATH to SDK is correct

[discgolfdad]

Same problem here. My adb command is correctly pathed.
