Deployment Failure while deploying war file from Jenkins to elastic beantalk

Question

I have the following error when I try to deploy my webapp from Jenkins, using AWSEB Deployment Plugin, to AWS elastic beantalk.

I specify a file path in the Root Object fieldset, so I have no values in Includes and Excludes fieldsets.

    AWSEB Deployment Plugin Version 0.3.15

Any ideas about this error ? Root Object doesn't exist

Root obect field expects you to give path to file or folder which you want to deploy to beanstalk.

Important thing here is that the path should be relative to your project's root directory.

Consider below example :

You have your project in directory "P" and inside this folder you have 2 sub directories A & B.
Suppose in your previous build step you have navigated to a sub directory, say A
The file you want to deploy is present inside A/target/XYZ.war
Then, entry for Root Object field would be " A/target/XYZ.war" (without quotes)

Note - Even though your present working directory was A , but still the Root object path has to be relative to your workspace (project's root directory)
