[XCUITest] Unable to start WebDriverAgent: Error: spawn EACCES

See original GitHub issue

iOS 10.0.2 xcode 8 appium 1.6.0-beta3 appium-xcuitest-driver 2.0.26

Seeing same issue in Issue #191 on a real device, simulator is ok.

[XCUITest] Waiting for WebDriverAgent to start on device
[XCUITest] Unable to start WebDriverAgent: Error: spawn EACCES
[XCUITest] Unable to start WebDriverAgent: Error: spawn EACCES
[debug] [XCUITest] Reset not set, continuing
[debug] [iOSLog] Stopping iOS log capture

This happens when I use deviceconsole, without it I see the hang from Issue #6895

On the device itself, I see wda installed on the phone and start/background within a few seconds (up to 10 sometimes) after the error.

I’m able to run the xcodebuild command outside of appium and arrive at Listening on USB

Looking for insights on how to further troubleshoot this, if there’s any additional info you’d like me to submit let me know - thanks!

Sorry, just saw that you were using deviceconsole.

Figured it out!

I think you are pointing realDeviceLogger to the directory, rather than the executable. For instance, I have deviceConsole installed in

/Users/isaac/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.7/lib/node_modules/deviceconsole

So the actual executable, which is what realDeviceLogger should be pointing to, is

/Users/isaac/.nvm/versions/node/v4.4.7/lib/node_modules/deviceconsole/deviceconsole
