Hi @nagulakondavv!
Thanks for your question! Please see these related discussion as they might be of help to you:

> Hi all, I want to run appium tests for UI testing. This framework requires to run an appium server on the same machine to run the tests. How can I do that with bitrise?

> I have created an Maven framework using APPIUM for automating an Android Application and now i want to integrate my appium maven framework with Bitrise. My automation is on a separate repository using Appium. When I try to add an app, there is no support for Maven project, it only provides some options like set “iOS/Android/Fastlane, etc” but not for Maven project. There is no document about it.So I don’t know how to setup my automation build on bitrise, do you have any idea?
But do not hesitate to elaborate on your specific use case and let us know any other questions you may have! 🙂

Hy @nagulakondavv!
In this build, after your vdt step succeeds there is a start android emulator, that is missing inputs, and there is no emulator running, for that I recommend using this script
```auto
# fail if any commands fails
set -e
# debug log
#set -x
cd $ANDROID_HOME/emulator
echo no | avdmanager create avd -n Nexus_5X_API_26 -k "system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86" --force
emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_26 -no-window -no-audio -debug-init > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo "Waiting emulator is ready..."
adb wait-for-device shell 'while [[-z $(getprop sys.boot_completed)]]; do sleep 1; done; input keyevent 82'
echo "Emulator is ready!"
```
but it is IMPORTANT that you use the Ubuntu docker LTS stack.
and put this script step to maybe the second place in the build 🙃

For the Device testing do we really required Start android emulator step?
and Can you tell me the step needed to execute the automation scripts.

Added the script for start android emulator. execution aborted after waiting for 5400 sec

it may be that the script starts up the emulator so the start step is not required.

Hey, could you please send me the build’s url?
these snippets usually are way to short to really understand the situation.

Hy @nagulakondavv!
so it seems you want to run device tests, but there is no device to run them on. but the VDT step succeeded, what are the tests that run on it? aren’t those the same?

ok. how I need to do the device test? how can I get rid of “No device connected issue”
Yes, VDT step is succeeded but in vdt step its just opened the App in a emulator and closed other than that nothing went in vdt step. Do I need to provide any path in vdt step to get the automation code from GIT and execute?

You need to build appropriate testing APK first in prior steps.
VDT cannot be used with Appium.

Then could you try change stack to the LTS ubuntu and start up an emulator with this script at the beggining of the build?
```auto
# fail if any commands fails
set -e
# debug log
#set -x
cd $ANDROID_HOME/emulator
echo no | avdmanager create avd -n Nexus_5X_API_26 -k "system-images;android-26;google_apis;x86" --force
emulator -avd Nexus_5X_API_26 -no-window -no-audio -debug-init > /dev/null 2>&1 &
echo "Waiting emulator is ready..."
adb wait-for-device shell 'while [[-z $(getprop sys.boot_completed)]]; do sleep 1; done; input keyevent 82'
echo "Emulator is ready!"
```

Did that and got a different issue. seems emulator issue was resolved.
**Error:** 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. what does it mean?

Hello there!
I would stat looking around these two lines first
```auto
/bitrise/src/android/gradlew: eval: line 161: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
/bitrise/src/android/gradlew: eval: line 162: syntax error: unexpected end of file
```
could be that there is a not closed string maybe.

Hi,
How to achieve this i.e. Appium using WebDriverIO /Mocha?
Kindly provide link to any relevant documentation
Thanks
