Step with mkdir successful, but directory not created

Build Environment
8

In the end, I over-complicated this and misunderstood the process.

My goal was to create a directory on my application server, which was hosted in Elastic Beanstalk. Although I wanted to create the directory on the server, the commands I was using in my config.yml file were creating the directory in the container. CircleCI behaved perfectly fine. I didn’t!

Instead, I simply needed to add the command to the config file located in my .ebextensions source folder.

Here’s the full config file from the .ebextensions folder, for anyone else who runs across this.

    "/root/.ssh/config":
        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: "000600"
        content: |
            Host github.com
                User git
                Hostname github.com
                IdentityFile /root/.ssh/battlestardigitalbot-github-deploy
    "/root/.ssh/known_hosts":
        owner: root
        group: root
        mode: "000644"
        content: |
            [REDACTED]
