I am trying to start the test server I am getting the below error. Could you please some one give me the solution. I tried different combination of gem versions but no luck. Appreciated quick help on this.

I am using command something like

DEVICE_TARGET='iPhone 5 (9.2)' calabash-ios console


irb(main):001:0> start_test_server_in_background

UPDATE

From your comment, it appears you are trying to launch on a physical device, not a simulator. This is confusing because "iPhone 5 (9.2)" has the same naming convention as a simulator.

When you target a physical device, you need to use the UDID of the device, which you can find in the first few lines of output of instruments:

$ xcrun instruments -s devices
stern [4AFA58C7-5D39-54D0-9733-04302E7XXXXX]
neptune (9.3.1) [43be3f89d9587e9468c24672777ff6241bdXXXXX]
uranus (9.3.1) [6c3ed5434b5dfc29758f8835644b55bd43XXXXX]
Apple TV 1080p (9.0) [D6875A98-2C0E-4138-85EF-841025A54DE0] (Simulator)
# the rest are simulators.

In the example above:

* stern is the host computer.
* neptune and uranus are physical devices.

To target neptune:

$ DEVICE_TARGET=43be3f89d9587e9468c24672777ff6241bdXXXXX \
  DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://<ip of your device>:37265 \
  calabash-ios console

If you name your devices sensibly, you can also do this:

$ DEVICE_TARGET=neptune \
  DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://<ip of your device>:37265 \
  calabash-ios console

I suspect that because your physical device name exactly matches a simulator name, Calabash is confused about what device you want to target.

To recap: You have two options:

 1. Use the UDID you get from instruments.
 $ DEVICE_TARGET=43be3f89d9587e9468c24672777ff6241bdXXXXX \
   DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://<ip of your device>:37265 \
   calabash-ios console

 2. Rename your device to something like "iphone5"
 $ DEVICE_TARGET=iphone5 \
   DEVICE_ENDPOINT=http://<ip of your device>:37265 \
   calabash-ios console

Previous Answer

Have you tried "quotes?

$ DEVICE_TARGET="iPhone 5 (9.2)" calabash-ios console

ArgumentError: Could not find a device with a UDID or name matching 'iPhone' from

For some reason, run-loop is missing the "5 (9.2)" portion of the string.

The only other thing I can think of is that you don't have an iPhone 5 iOS 9.2 simulator installed. Do you see one in Xcode?

You can also try using the UDID directly.

# List the available simulators
$ xcrun instruments -s devices
<snip>
iPhone 6 Plus (9.3) [D6AFEDFE-2E02-4A33-AEC8-740053DDC6DE] (Simulator)

 # Use the UDID directly.
 $ DEVICE_TARGET="D6AFEDFE-2E02-4A33-AEC8-740053DDC6DE" calabash-ios console
