How to run Android's CTS on windows on an emulator

Question

I downloaded CTS tool from this source (Android 2.3 R3 CTS) and unzipped.
I have added SDK_ROOT in my environment variables and set path to android SDk directory.
I have set path to "path=c:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools" for ADB.
I used

 java -Xmx512M -cp c:\android-cts\tools\cts.jar;
 c:\android-cts\tools\hosttestlib.jar;
 c:\android-cts\tools\junit.jar;
 c:\android-cts\tools\CtsTestAnnotationsHostLib;
 c:\android-sdk-windows\tools\lib\ddmlib.jar"

to enter CTS shell.

But it gives error..

Answer 1

I had the same issue by using cygwin

I found the solution on this blog

You just have to do the modification of those two line in the script startcts: JARS= cygpath -w -p ${CTS_LIB}:${DDM_LIB}:${JUNIT_LIB}:${HOSTTEST_LIB} java ${JAVA_OPTS} -cp ${JARS} com.android.cts.TestHost cygpath -w ${CONFIG} "$@" ${DDCONFIG}

Then I was able to have the CTS prompt
