What happened?

I use project https://github.com/webdriverio/appium-boilerplate
Every time when I run npm run android.browserstack.app tests for BrowserStack I get error 2024-06-25T14:07:52.225Z ERROR @wdio/cli:launcher: No specs found to run, exiting with failure

I did but unfortunately it didn't help:
1 npm update
2 npm install @wdio/cli@latest --save-dev
3 npm install --save-dev @wdio/browserstack-service
But when I run tests on local machine - no problems!

What is your expected behavior?

No response

How to reproduce the bug.

1. Clone project
2. Use browserStack (user / key)
   3 use npm run android.browserstack.app

Hi there, you used .js instead of .ts

Hi there, you used .js instead of .ts

No reason js or ts. I get the same error. If you open project, you will see in spec using .js for local or browser stack. By the way local everything works fine.

[erwinheitzman]

@mishko-misha the path should be ../../tests/specs/**/app*.spec.ts

[mishko-misha]

@mishko-misha the path should be ../../tests/specs/**/app*.spec.ts

Please explain it:) what the difference is?

[erwinheitzman]

I added ../ at the beginning because the path was looking in the wrong directory. Additionally I used .ts instead of .js

I added but I get another error, please check logs, screens

@mishko-misha correct, this is a different issue but can be corrected. The mentioned capabilities in the error from the log are incorrect. You can remove those and copy paste some of the capabilities from the Saucelabs android setup and that should resolve it.

[mishko-misha]

@erwinheitzman thanks a lot, you helped me:)

[erwinheitzman]

You're welcome @mishko-misha let's keep the issue open though because these things should work out of the box and need to be fixed. Would you be comfortable to contribute the changes you needed to make? It would help us out a lot 😉
