issue: Error to execute ella.i.sh <path-to-apk> about ella HOT 3 OPEN

You need to create the file ella.settings by copying ella.settings.template and then modifying its content to set values of various configuration variables. This is described under the heading "Before building ella" in the README.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

But I did it. I renamed ella.settings.template to ella.settings and modified as tutorial suggested. Please, see my ella.settings. Is there someting wrong?

Haven't tested ella on Cygwin, so I am not sure what could be the issue, but here is a thought: could you try replacing "$ELLA_DIR/ella.settings" in ella.i.sh with the Windows path to your ella.settings file (e.g. C:\Users...)?

The error seems to be that it can't find "c:\Users\Maria\Desktop\ELLA\NEW\ella-master\ella.settings", so at this point the contents of the file are not really an issue. It's just that, according to Java, there is not a file in that location (also, not very used to Windows anymore, but the fact that that path starts with lowercase c:, instead of C:\ seems weird to me).
