APPIUM_WEB_JAVA_JUNIT_TEST_PACKAGE_UNZIP_FAILED
If you see the following message, follow these steps to fix the issue.
Warning
We could not open your test ZIP file. Please verify that the file is valid and try again.
Make sure that you can unzip the test package without errors. In the following example, the package's name is zip-with-dependencies.zip.
-
Copy your test package to your working directory, and then run the following command:
$ unzip zip-with-dependencies.zip
-
After you successfully unzip the package, you can find the working directory tree structure by running the following command:
$ tree .
A valid Appium Java JUnit package should produce output like the following:

APPIUM_WEB_JAVA_JUNIT_TEST_PACKAGE_INVALID_JUNIT_VERSION
If you see the following message, follow these steps to fix the issue.
Warning
We found the JUnit version was lower than the minimum version 4.10 we support. Please change the JUnit version and try again.
