Cannot start Appium Server via Visual Studio

[ascholz]

Hello,

I unfortunately get the following error message when I try to run the WPF test.

Test method CarvedRock.UITests.WindowsWPFTests.AddNewItem threw exception:
OpenQA.Selenium.Appium.Service.Exceptions.AppiumServerHasNotBeenStartedLocallyException: The local appium server has not been started. The given Node.js executable: C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe Arguments: "C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\npm\node_modules\appium\build\lib\main.js" --port "51947" --address "127.0.0.1".
Time 120000 ms for the service starting has been expired!

I have installed Appium via NPM and can also start Appium from the console.

I have no idea what the problem is.

Thanks for the help :-)
