View logs for Appium tests

Access Appium logs for your Appium test executions on BrowserStack App Automate. Test your apps on a real device cloud.

Appium logs are generated by the Appium server and contain a detailed record of your Appium test session execution. They can help you troubleshoot any errors if your test session fails. Appium logs are enabled by default.

To disable Appium logs, use the capability as shown below.

DesiredCapabilities capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("appiumLogs", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"appiumLogs" : "false",

	},
}

AppiumOptions capabilities = new AppiumOptions();
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("appiumLogs", "false");

$caps = array(
    'bstack:options' => array(
        "appiumLogs" => "false",
    ),
)

desired_cap = {
	'bstack:options' : {
		"appiumLogs" : "false",
	},
}

capabilities = {
    'bstack:options' => {
        "appiumLogs" => "false",
    },
}

DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
desiredCapabilities.setCapability("browserstack.appiumLogs", "false");

var capabilities = {
	'browserstack.appiumLogs': 'false',
}

DesiredCapabilities capability = new DesiredCapabilities();
capability.SetCapability("browserstack.appiumLogs", "false");

$capabilities = new DesiredCapabilities();
$capabilities->setCapability("browserstack.appiumLogs", "false");

desired_cap = {
	'browserstack.appiumLogs': 'false'
}

desired_caps = {
    'browserstack.appiumLogs': 'false'
}
