Answer 1

Please check you APPIUM server, it is started or not.

Answer 2

Update your appium server, node JS and npm then try it out. It worked for me, i was using appium server 1.4 after updating to version 1.7.1 it worked.

Answer 3

Can you close the current appium session and try again. If you are still seeing the error, what is your appium version
