Description

Operating System Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

Docker Image butomo1989/docker-android-x86-8.1:1.6-p0

Docker Version
Docker version 17.05.0-ce, build 89658be

Docker Command to start docker-android

docker run --rm --privileged -p 6080:6080 -p 4723:4723 -e DEVICE="Samsung Galaxy S6" -e AUTO_RECORD=true -e APPIUM=true -v $PWD:/tmp/video butomo1989/docker-android-x86-8.1:1.6-p0

Expected Behavior

I want to run the following test with Appium using the URL: http://localhost:4723/wd/hub

Actual Behavior

The request reaches the Appium server in the container, but an internal error happens:

An unknown server-side error occurred while processing the command. Original error: 'app' option is required for reinstall
    at getResponseForW3CError (/usr/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-base-driver/lib/protocol/errors.js:826:9)
    at asyncHandler (/usr/lib/node_modules/appium/node_modules/appium-base-driver/lib/protocol/protocol.js:447:37)

The error can be seen in the Appium server console through noVNC:

Research direction
Investigate the Appium server configuration in the Docker image by examining the Dockerfile and entrypoint scripts. The error indicates that the 'app' capability is missing during the reinstall process. Look at the linked test example to understand the required capabilities and determine how to set the app path in the Docker environment.
