From #20792 (comment) and #20792 (comment) . Ordinally proposed by @saikrishna321 @SrinivasanTarget (Please add more context if you have)

Current appium inspector is available as an electron app or https://inspector.appiumpro.com/ . The original idea was to make it available as part of appium server so that users don't need to have additional packages like an electron app.

This work itself can be done out of Appium 3 work. If this is not necessary, let's close this.

Describe the solution you'd like.

how to use it

  • Git clone the branch
  • Run PUBLIC_URL="/inspector" npm run build:browser:url and copy dist-browser into appium-inspector/plugins directory
  • Run appium plugin install --source=local /Users/kazu/github/appium-inspector/plugins
  • Start Appium with appium --use-plugins=appium-inspector

Maybe once we make it available via npm, the via npm will also work. (I haven't checked)

Describe alternatives you've considered.
