Error when setting keystore path to be relative

Question

What I need to happen: using a relative path for my keystore in my gradle to work.

Things I have tried:

storeFile file('../keystore.jks')

storeFile file("$rootDir/keystore.jks")

I have also tried it with not adding .jks at the end of the keystore name. But I get the same error. I am under the release variant. I am using the Build APK option to build the APK.

This is what my code looks like in my gradle:

android {
signingConfigs {
    config {
        keyAlias 'key0'
        keyPassword 'testpassword'
        storeFile file('../keystore')
        storePassword 'testpassword'
    }
  }

  buildTypes {
    release {
        minifyEnabled false
        proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        signingConfig signingConfigs.config
    }
   }

This is the error I get:

Keystore file 'C:\Users\zzyzj\Documents\Android_Projects\EloterManResources\EloteMan\version\Udacity\eloteroMan\keystore' not found for signing config 'config'.

You should use rootProject.file to access the keystore file. Something like this:

signingConfigs {
config {
    keyAlias 'key0'
    keyPassword 'testpassword'
    storeFile rootProject.file('keystore.jks')
    storePassword 'testpassword'
}
}

This is for the case when the keystore is in your root folder.If it's in some other folder give the correct relative path.
