My appium GUI was working perfectly fine until today. When I tried to start appium I am getting this error. I don't know how to get around it. So any suggestions / solutions highly appreciated.

 Launching Appium with command: '/Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/node/bin/node' appium/build/lib/main.js --pre-launch --debug-log-spacing --automation-name "Appium" --platform-name "Android" --platform-version "6.0" --app "/Users/iamtheuser/fitbit/automation/artifacts/myapp.apk" --language "en" --locale "US"

Error: Cannot find module 'appium-base-driver'

It seems you might :

1. updated appium version


2. might updated all other installed/removed gems/dependancies like nodeJS

Do you remember what activity have you done?

Install Appium Doctor and investigate whats wrong in it.

1. 
   

   Install Appium Doctor by below command:

   
   
   

   npm install appium-doctor -g
   

   
   


2. 
   

   Use Appium Doctor by below command:

   
   
   

   appium-doctor -h
   

   
   

Try
Intall gulp with npm install -g gulp

The issue has happened because you might have updated java-client but not the appium server.

Say if your java-client version is 6.0.0-BETA4, you need to use Appium v1.7.2

Please update how you resolved this issue.

@Mysterio Man, hi . Could You please share what versions: java-client/appium GUI do You use ?
I'd recommend to try the following alternatives:

• Install gulp using npm -g gulp
  


• check for versions of appium GUI
  


• check for java-client versions ; Maven repo
  

In my proj I'm using dependency

 <dependency>
 <groupId>io.appium</groupId>
 <artifactId>java-client</artifactId>
 <version>7.0.0</version>
 </dependency>

Works fine for me.

And also installing appium i accurately followed this step-by-step setup instruction . Didnt face any issues.
In worst case- might be helpful to reinstall everything from scratch.
Let me know if You have resolved the issue.

Eugene

You can install the base driver by below command:

npm i appium-base-driver
