After updating from Appium 1.2 to 2.0 (Beta), my test is now throwing a "[HTTP] No route found for /wd/hub/session" error

The problem

My tests use to run fine when I was on Appium 1.2 (release), but I then updated to 2.0 (beta) because I wanted to try out these methods startPerfRecord/stopPerfRecord which are only baked into Appium 1.8 and greater, but on Appium 2.0 my test no longer run and is throwing a “[HTTP] No route found for /wd/hub/session” error immediately when initiating my test. I know it has something to do with the capabilities, but I can’t for the life of me figure it out.

I’m trying to run this test on a physical iPhone.

Some thing’s I’ve tried:

• Changing some of the capabilities by adding ‘appium:’ in front of them - E.g. appium:deviceName instead of just deviceName
• Running appium with --base-path /wd/hub
• Using http://127.0.0.1:4723/ in the client code instead of http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub
• Removing a good amount of the capabilities I have set

Environment

• Appium version: 2.0.0-beta.12
• Last Appium version that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): 1.2
• Desktop OS/version used to run Appium: macOS 10.15.7
• Node.js version (unless using Appium.app|exe): v14.15.5
• Npm or Yarn package manager: npm
• Mobile platform/version under test: iOS 14.4
• Real device or emulator/simulator: Real Device
• Appium CLI or Appium.app|exe: Appium CLI

Details

If necessary, describe the problem you have been experiencing in more detail.
