I am testing an Android app using Appium with UiAutomator2. I think I have set up everything correctly.

However, when I run the index.js using "node index.js" command, I get the following error message in console output:

Request failed due to An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: The file at '/home/heyn/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.1/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-uiautomator2-server/apks/appium-uiautomator2-server-debug-androidTest.apk' does not exist or is not accessible

Full console output:

Full Server log output is as the following:

Your error is very clear, it says that there is no such file (appium-uiautomator2-server-debug-androidTest.apk) in path home/heyn/.nvm/versions/node/v12.16.1/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-uiautomator2-server/apks/. You need to provide correct path to your application to start appium server.
