[ADB] The ANDROID_HOME environment variable is not set to the Android SDK root directory path. ANDROID_HOME is required for compatibility with SDK 23+. Checking along PATH for adb.

The problem

unable to start appium programmatically as its not able to find adb path as shown in log below, however all path variable are set and able to call it from terminal also appium-doctor doesn’t show any issue

this is my bash_profile

export JAVA_HOME=$(/usr/libexec/java_home)
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export ANDROID_HOME="/users/amrka/library/Android/sdk"
export MVN_HOME="/usr/local/Cellar/maven/3.6.3"
export PATH="$MVN_HOME/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/tools/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="$ANDROID_HOME/build-tools/29.0.3:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/bin/carthage:$PATH"
export APPIUM_HOME="/usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/build/lib/main.js"
export NODE_HOME="/user/local/bin/node"
export PATH="$JAVA_HOME/jre/bin:$PATH" 
export PATH="$PATH:/opt/yarn-1.19.1/bin"
export LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/lib"
export CPPFLAGS="-I/usr/local/opt/openssl@1.1/include"
export O_SYS="MacOS"

Environment

• Appium version (or git revision) that exhibits the issue: 1.17.0
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable):
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: MacOS
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): 12
• Npm or Yarn package manager: 6
• Mobile platform/version under test: Android
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Emulator
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: CLI

Details

i can call adb from terminal with no problem all, env variables are set as shown above in the bash_file yet , appium is still unable to execute the test as it seems adb not accessible for appium CLI

[mykola-mokhnach]

its working now by using this variables, though every time i restart the mac machine have to run source ~/.bash_profile before starting the editor

Since Catalina Apple has changed the default shell to zsh. Consider changing .zshrc instead to avoid manual interaction after each reboot

[amrsa1]

srry for last response, unfortunately i didn’t get anything useful from process env
