The file “WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file

Question

I have installed Appium 1.6.4 on Mac using Terminal. Also I can able to inspect iPhone WebElements using Safari Browser in MAC.

But I need to inspect the keyboard elements and date picker elements on iPhone real device. For this, I have again installed Appium-desktop 1.0.2 beta2 version. When I launch the Appium desktop(GUI) and run the selenium code. It throws the below error.

As per the above log, I have navigated to the below location,

/Users/msubramaniam/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData

I found that there are two WebDriverAgents

WebDriverAgent-brdadhpuduowllgivnnvuygpwhzy
WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs

It is calling the second WebDriverAgent and it does not have the "WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app".

First WebDriverAgent has "WebDriverAgentRunner-Runner.app".

So how to call the first WebDriverAgent.

I have also tried to remove the WebDriverAgent by using the below command.

rm -rf /WebDriverAgent-dikkwtrisltbeobjmfvpthwwekvs

But it is not deleted.

Kindly provide the solution for this to resolve.

Solution

There was issue with carthage. Ran below commands and it got resolved :

rm '/usr/local/bin/carthage' 
brew install carthage 
brew link carthage

I have done building the webDriverAgent on iPhone by using the below command

[MoNa]

"xcodebuild build test -project /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcuit‌​est-driver/WebDriver‌​Agent/WebDriverAgent‌​.xcodeproj -scheme WebDriverAgentRunner -destination id='********' -configuration Debug"

[MoNa]

but when I try to launch appium, via appium-desktop application as well as by using Terminal, WebDriverAgent build gets deleted.

[MoNa]

So again I ran the xcode command, it throws the below error in terminal

[MoNa]

XCTRunner[434:667171] The bundle “WebDriverAgentRunner” couldn’t be loaded because it is damaged or missing necessary resources. Try reinstalling the bundle.

[Abhinav]

Can you check for desired capabilites ? also can you paste it over here

[MoNa]

"platformName": "iOS", "automationName": "XCUITest", "udid": "*******", "deviceName": "Ananda's iPhone", "bundleId": "com.apple.mobilesafari", "platformVersion": "10.3.1", "xcodeOrgId": "9Q6VZT6URH", "xcodeSigningId": "iPhone Developer", "agentPath": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcui‌​test-driver/WebDrive‌​rAgent/WebDriverAgen‌​‌​t.xcodeproj", "bootstrapPath": "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-xcui‌​test-driver/WebDrive‌​rAgent", "browserName": "Safari"

[Abhinav]

can you try appium 1.5.3 GUI version once ? and check whether it is able to open appium inspector or not. Start appium server from command line and then click on appium inspector from appium gui. (magnifying glass icon) (specify all settings in ios settings on appium gui before clicking inspector icon)

[MoNa]

If I start the Appium server on Terminal and run the program, WebDriverAgent gets deleted

[MoNa]

Is it fine if have appium 1.6.5 on Terminal and Appium 1.5.3 for GUI

[Abhinav]

Yes it is fine to use
