Appium installation issue

Question

While installing Appium, I am having issue with plugins. To install them, I wrote:

appium server -ka 800 --use-plugins=execute-driver

It shows that plugin becoming (ACTIVE) but when I enter "appium" again, it shows no plugin activated.

Please help with this.

Answer 1

After you installed a plugin, for example with a command that looks like this:

appium plugin install --source=npm <plugin-package-on-npm>

You have to use the --use-plugins flag every time you start appium, so the command would be

appium --use-plugins=execute-driver

or

appium server -ka 800 --use-plugins=execute-driver
