I was also facing this issue.

I think, Appium **v2.0.0** or onwards are not compatibale.

So, when I installed **v1.22.3** of Appium and tried again it started running properly.

Hope you try once and this issue will be resolved as resolved at my side.

**Appium v1.22.3: npm install -g appium@1.22.3**

Happy Testing!

Thank You.
