Google-services.json file missing error when running my build

Build Environment
1

I’m new to circle CI and I’m trying to get my Android project running UNIT TESTS with my CircleCI. I’m getting this error, as I haven’t commited my google-services.json, which is an API key which I’m not allowed to upload to public repository. What should I do?

#!/bin/bash -eo pipefail
./gradlew lint test

Did you ever fix this issue?

I have a project with 4 flavors and 3 of the flavors work fine, but the last gives me the exact same error message as you get.
