Starting CTS from the commandline

Question

How do I start the Android CTS from the command line, I have tried every combination that I can think of:

~/programs/android-cts/tools$ ./startcts --config ../repository/host_config.xml start -plan CTS

and the like does not work. Any input will be very much appreciated?

Answer 1

Apparently it is just a matter of reading the CTS source code, and then getting the parameters correct: :)

$ ./startcts start --plan CTS

Answer 2

I have been using CTS version CTS4.4R3.
Below is how we can run CTS on KK .
Go to "tools" folder in CTS4.4R3 and enter the below commands : 
command to Run CTS :
.../tools$./cts-tradefed
>run cts --plan CTS

Creating a Plan for Failed Cases in the 1st run:
add derivedplan -p "anyName"-s <SessionID> -r fail
Run added Plan : run cts --plan <PlanName> 

SessionID can be checked as : list results

Running individual class in CTS :
run cts -c <ClassName>
run cts -c com.android.cts.monkey.android.widget.cts.AutoCompleteTextViewTest

Answer 3

Run the command startcts in the tools folder

<install_dir>/tools$./startcts

cts shell will show up, Choose the plan you want to run as shown below
