ERROR: Could not execute "adb push"

[lvxy-git]

Got this issue with win10.

can get my device by adb devices

[rom1v]

Could you provide more information: what is the command you executed? from which directory? on which platform? what is the whole output?

[lvxy-git]

I executed "scrcpy" at my scrcpy's directory: “.\scrcpy-win64”
output：ERROR: Could not execute "adb push"
execute “adb devices” can find my device.”
on win10

Can you test it again in scrcpy 1.4?
In scrcpy 1.4, it will detect whether adb is missing or not (see #236, #254 ).

If the adb is missing when we execute scrcpy, it will show on console.
It helps us to know whether adb is in your PATH or not.

Thanks.

Hello. I'm having 'Could not execute adb push' issue too with 1.4 on Windows 7 x64

1. I have C:\adb directory in my PATH
2. I've unpacked scrcpy's zip-package into C:\adb
3. Called scrcpy from command line and get this error:

ERROR: Failed to execute adb
ERROR: Could not execute "adb push"
Press any key to continue...

But if i unpack archive somewhere else, call command line from that directory and use scrcpy then everything works fine.
Tried to put contents of scrcpy into my user directory from where command line is beeing called if i use PATH, but it won't work - same error.

[rom1v]

3. Called scrcpy from command line and get this error:

What if you call adb devices instead?

The release of scrcpyalready includes adb, you don't need to extract it to some adb directory (it might conflict).

Tried to put contents of scrcpy to my user direcotry from where command line is beeing called if i use PATH, but it won't work - same error.

Sorry, I didn't get that part. Could you explain with a concrete example, please?

[Plandercozeron]

Case when doesn't work

1. Have empty directory A which is in PATH
2. Extract scrcpy into A
3. Launch CMD by just Win + R -> cmd so CMD starts from current user directory
4. Call scrcpy - doesn't work
5. Call adb devices - works

Case when works

1. Extract scrcpy into directory B
2. Launch CMD from directory B
3. Call scrcpy - works

[rom1v]

OK, I get it.

The problem is that scrcpy pushes the scrcpy-server.jar that it finds in . (your current directory). If you start scrcpy from PATH, it expects scrcpy-server.jar to be in ., i.e. the current directory, the one from where you call (the Windows version is "portable", it overrides the server path).

If you want your scrcpy-server.jar to be in a directory other than ., you need to give its full path in the env variable SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH.

[Plandercozeron]

Yes, that helped. Put scrcpy-server.jar in my user directory C:\Users\your_username . Thought scrcpy couldn't find adb.exe at first. Very useful and works if there're cyryllic symbols in directory path

[lvxy-git]

@rom1v @npes87184 it still happen in v1.4

ERROR: Failed to execute adb
ERROR: Could not execute "adb push"

[rom1v]

@lyuxy Please provide:

• the current directory path from where you execute scrcpy
• the content of that directory
• the content of your PATH variable
• the result of adb devices

[rom1v]

You have adb accessible both from your PATH and the current directory. I don't know which one is chosen.

What is the result of:

.\adb devices
.\adb --version

and

%ANDROID_HOME%platform-tools\adb devices
%ANDROID_HOME%platform-tools\adb --version

?

What if you remove adb.exe from the scrcpy directory?

[lvxy-git]

All same with these steps—— output ：version 1.0.32 and find my android device.
After remove 'adb.exe' from the scrcpy directory ，excute 'scrcpy' ，output the same errors。

[rom1v]

version 1.0.32

This is not expected. The adb.exe included in scrcpy is 1.0.40 IIRC (I have currently no Windows to check, but it may not be 1.0.32).

So the problem is probably that Windows uses your old adb.exe which is in your PATH before using that of the current directory.

[lvxy-git]

i download scrcpy again. now excute “adb version”in scrcpy's file path，output “v1.0.40”，but it doesn‘t work，i still can't use it.

[cotfas]

Hello,

I use the 1.8 version, and I get the same error on mac, tried with adb over usb and wifi and it is the same issue. The adb devices it is showing the phone connected for both cases. How can I fix it? I`ve tried also with compiling the project..

Thank you

[rom1v]

What if you manually execute:

adb push scrcpy-server.jar /data/local/tmp

(adapt the path of scrcpy-server)

[cotfas]

The same issue:

I`ve also posted the issue here:

#530

[vflame]

On windows, setting SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH copies the scrcpy binaries to /data/local/tmp/scrcpy-server.jar/.

[rom1v]

Which value do you assign to SCRCPY_SERVER_PATH exactly?

[vflame]

Path to the scrcpy-server.jar (e.g. "C:\scrcpy-win64")

[rom1v]

You need to pass its full path: C:\scrcpy-win64\scrcpy-server.jar.

[rom1v]

v1.9 fixes the problem by searching in the same directory as the binary on Windows, so I'm closing.

[wangym1551]

i have this problem too ERROR:could not execute "adb push"，and i solved it like this
1、Delete adb in PATH
2、run the scrcpy.exe as administrator

Yes! This worked! Thank you! <3

[ShitijHalder]

What if you manually execute:

adb push scrcpy-server.jar /data/local/tmp

(adapt the path of scrcpy-server)

Same problem!

[jericepon]

I encountered the same issue. I tried to run it on cmd and it works.

[emsm-chentao]

I the same issue. Update to the latest version and the problem is solved
