Hey Giorgio,
I had to port the tests myself last night. I'm going to checkin the JS
and Android code today so I needed working tests so I could have
confidence that everything is okay. Please take a look at:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=incubator-cordova-mobile-spec.git;a=commit;h=45a192ac030faf93a133d25a4e343cd660f36fef
and add more test cases or tweak what is already there. You can also
take a look at the iOS and BB tests to make sure that everything has
been captured in my test suite.
