Error: Could not find a driver for automationName 'Appium' and platformName 'Android'

Issue

When I try to run my application using nodejs. I get above error into appium server

test.js file

var wd = require("wd");
var appDriver = wd.remote({
    hostname: '127.0.0.1',
    port: 4723,
})

var config = {};

config.android19Hybrid = {
   automationName: 'Appium',
   browserName: '',
   platformName: 'Android',
   platformVersion: 19,// API level integer, or a version string like '4.4.2'
   autoWebview: true,
   deviceName: 'any value; Appium uses the first device from *adb devices*',
   app: "D:\\market-deliveryboy\\platforms\\android\\app\\build\\outputs\\apk\\debug\\app-debug.apk"
};

appDriver.init(config.android19Hybrid);

Error I get on Appium server

I try to solve that but not get success. I'm bigger in Ionic + Appium testing. If you have any solution for this then It's very helpful for me.

Thank you in advance

Solution

Removing this parameter -- automationName: 'Appium', worked for me, as automationName anyway defaults to Appium.
