Hi, I want to generate a keystore for my application, but I have a problem on the ‘Deploy to [Bitrise.io](http://Bitrise.io) - Apps, Logs, Artifacts’ step.  
In what there can be a reason and how to solve this problem?

Hi @volskyioleh,

Can you please copy paste the build’s [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) URL?

Checked the config & log of the build, it seems your script does not generate the keystore into the right dir.

I’d suggest you to add these lines to the Script step:

```auto
# where are we?
pwd
# what files are in this dir?
ls -alh

```

From this you should be able to see where the file is generated, or if it’s generated at all and whether the path is the one you expect.

From the configs it seems you generate the keystore file to some dir, not into the `$BITRISE_SOURCE_DIR`, but you set the Deploy step to deploy the source dir - which is most likely empty, as you don’t git clone anything and you seem to generate the keystore file into another dir, so the source dir remains empty.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions just let us know! 🙂

P.S.: I’d suggest you to install the Bitrise CLI (runner) on your own Mac/Linux and run the config there, to debug / experiment with it:

If you do, this is the right place for you! It’s actually super simple: Install the Bitrise CLI, which is the exact same runner which runs the builds on the [bitrise.io](http://bitrise.io) VMs. [Bitrise CLI](https://www.bitrise.io/cli) Note: the CLI is open source, repo and code: [GitHub - bitrise-io/bitrise: Bitrise runner CLI - run your automations on your Mac or Linux mach…](https://github.com/bitrise-io/bitrise)
