Hi, I’m encountering failed build since I placed the path of my keyStore to “local.properties” which is not tracked in Git, and build.gradle is referencing to get the keyStore from the said file. To handle this I followed this [guide](https://circleci.com/docs/missing-file/), but I still encounter the failed build.

**Build failed due to:**

> /path/to/AndroidProject/local.properties (No such file or directory)

**local.properties.ci** please see the contents below (Added and pushed to Git)  
` checkout: post: - cp local.properties.ci local.properties`

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Fixed it.

1. Create the “[local.properties.ci](http://local.properties.ci)” inthe same directory of “local.properties”, then add it to Git.

2. Add the code below in circle.yml:

Thanks, but that is not working for me. It worked for CircleCi 1.0, not for CircleCi 2.0
