hello,
during the deployment phase I get the warning:
```bash
[Bintray Upload] Warning: Path: build/libs/ does not exist.`
```
My lib is not deployed and I don’t understand why travis can’t find `build/libs` . I checked with simple `ls` command in .travis.yml and the path is valid.
I am looking to send `.pom` and `.jar` files located in `build/libs` folder. so its very straight forward…
```auto
"files":
[
{
"includePattern": "build/libs/(.*)",
"uploadPattern": "com/baillyj/jikankt/1.0.0/$1"
}
]
```
is my syntax no good?

By default, Travis is going to stash any changes to the directory before deploying. Therefore `build/libs` was created in a build step and _deleted_ in the `deploy` step, logically when you ran `ls` these files would appear in your CLI.
So add the following to your existing `.travis.yml`:
```auto
deploy:
skip_cleanup: true
```

good to know by default travis stashes, is this similar to `git stashing`?

Yes,
These terms are all fluid, like `pop`, `stash`, etc.
