Ach! Sorry. It’s appium-webdriveragent.

There is no WebDriverAgent folder anymore. The folder is appium-webdriveragent and is wherever in your install the appium-webdriveragent package was installed. It will have the contents structured like https://github.com/appium/WebDriverAgent

HI, @koralaa is your issue resolved?. As i’m facing the same issue.

saran.madhu@techleads-Mac-mini ~ % npm ls -g appium-webdriveragent /opt/homebrew/lib └─┬ appium@1.21.0 └─┬ appium-xcuitest-driver@3.43.0 └── appium-webdriveragent@3.8.0

@dbr13 : Are you able to run test, even if the WebDriverAgent directory is placed at other folder? I am stuck at this point as I couldn’t find WebDriverAgent, please help

Sujatagp on Dec 5, 2019

If you are finding the appium-webdriveragent after install the xcuitest driver, try this path ~/.appium/node_modules/appium-xcuitest-driver/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent

@dbr13 I am also not able to find WebDriverAgent folder in Appium 1.15.1 version /Applications/Appium.app/Contents/Resources/app/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent

WebDriverAgent is not present

@surajsalunkhe Please look for “Appium 1.15.1 version”

@sarmadhu : Certificate was missing in Xcode. Problem was solved after adding the ‘Signing certificate in Xcode’. Check whether you have done that step. Xcode ->Preferences -> Go to Accounts tab -> Make sure Apple id is set up -> Then click on Manage Certificates -> If nothing is there, then add certificate here (there’s a plus icon in the window to add certificate). Then uninstall and reinstall Appium solved the problem.

I was able to find Webdriveragent in this path /usr/local/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-webdriveragent

If you run npm ls -g appium-webdriver you should be able to find where it is installed.
