Originally created by @bonigarcia on GitHub (Jan 9, 2019).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/budtmo/docker-android/issues/136

Operating System
Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Docker Image
butomo1989/docker-android-x86-8.1:1.6-p0

Docker Version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be

Docker Command to start docker-android

docker run --rm --privileged -p 6080:6080 -p 4723:4723 -e DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S6" -e AUTO_RECORD=true -e APPIUM=true -v $PWD:/tmp/video butomo1989/docker-android-x86-8.1:1.6-p0

Expected Behavior

I want to run the following test with Appium using the URL: http://localhost:4723/wd/hub

Actual Behavior

The request reaches the Appium server in the container, but an internal error happens:

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: 'app' option is required for reinstall
    at getResponseForW3CError (/usr/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-base-driver/lib/protocol/errors.js:826:9)
    at asyncHandler (/usr/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-base-driver/lib/protocol/protocol.js:447:37)

The error can be seen in the Appium server console through noVNC:

I think it is not from my side, it might be from Appium side. could you maybe check with Appium with local machine (without docker)? @bonigarcia

@butomo1989 I have just executed the same test against a local Appium server and it is working fine. It seems there is something wrong in the Docker images. As described in #137, the same problem happens (randomly, it sometimes passes) when the Android device is registered in a Selenium Hub.

@bonigarcia it works fine on my side. I think you need to explain steps to reproduce it.

As I said, I started docker-android as follows:

docker run --rm --privileged -p 6080:6080 -p 4723:4723 -e DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S6" -e AUTO_RECORD=true -e APPIUM=true -v $PWD:/tmp/video butomo1989/docker-android-x86-8.1:1.6-p0

Before running the test, of course you need to wait until the emulator is ready. It can be done checking http://localhost:6080/

Then, you need to execute the test I reported in the issue description. It's a JUnit 4 test. It can be executed from the shell as follows (you need Maven and Java installed in your machine):

git clone https://github.com/bonigarcia/webdrivermanager-examples/
cd webdrivermanager-examples/
mvn test -Dtest=AppiumTest

The test fails, and the error trace contains the error I already reported:

I use the newest image. Could you try to use 1.6-p2 ?

ahhh.. I use for app testing and it seems that you use it for web testing. I need to take a look. does it work on the previous version: 1.5-p6? @bonigarcia

Not sure if this is related but when using your example in docker-compose:
When using device samsung_galaxy_s6_8.1 i get "Error in Appium server: 'app' option is required for reinstall"

However when using samsung_galaxy_s6_5.1.1 everything is fine

I noticed that the first device does not seem to have a default browser, is this related?
