Cordova-lib tests does use Android platform for e2e test purposes, but it is 
not required to be installed - it's being cloned and used by the tests 
themselves.

I've just tried to repro this on clean Windows 8 installation:
- Installed latest git
- Installed latest node.js
- git clone https://github.com/apache/cordova-lib
- cd cordova-lib\cordova-lib
- npm install
- npm test

It worked just fine for me, all tests have passed.
Also, these tests are being ran on each commit on AppVeyor and TravisCI:
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/Humbedooh/cordova-lib
https://travis-ci.org/apache/cordova-lib

I don't see the issue there too.

It looks like environment issue to me.

Thanks,
Alexander Sorokin

Subject: [cordova-lib] Tests require cordova-android devDependencies being 
updated?

Firstly I updated all my repos by running:
coho repo-update -r all

Then, I tried to run "npm test" on cordova-lib on master and I got some
failures:
--------------------------
Failures:
  1) (save flag) platform add --save spec.1 should support custom tgz files
   Message:
     timeout: timed out after 60000 msec waiting for spec to complete
  2) (save flag) platform add --save spec.7 should save git url with git ref 
properly
   Message:
     Expected false to be true.
  3) (save flag) platform update --save spec.11 should update spec with git url 
when updating using git url
--------------------------

Not sure what was going on. I nuked `node_modules` and ran `npm install` again 
in `cordova-lib`, I still get the same failures.

At Steve Gill's prompting, I updated the `cordova-android` repo by running `npm 
install` in the sibling directory, then ran `npm test` again for cordova-lib, 
and this time all the tests pass.

Based on this evidence, I think cordova-lib has a dependency on cordova-android 
somehow? If so, why should it? (which means downloading the cordova-lib repo 
and running tests won't work).

Note that I did not have Android installed on my computer either.
