Android Studio can't find file

I added my signing keys into keys folder in root of the project:

.\

   keys\
       sign.properties
   src\
       main\
   build.gradle

I added next lines to my build script:

signingConfigs {
    release {
        Properties p = new Properties()
        p.load(new FileInputStream('keys/sign.properties'))

        storeFile file(p.file)
        storePassword p.password
        keyAlias p.alias
        keyPassword p.keyPassword
    }
}

The command line gradle build is able to assemble build. However Android Studio gives me error that file sign.properties is not found.

How to point AS to it?

It looks like a problem with what the working directory is when compiling on the command line vs. compiling from Android Studio. I see a discrepancy there that I need to investigate further and possibly file a bug for. In any event, it's better to be explicit about nailing down the path to prevent confusion.

Try this:

p.load(new FileInputStream(rootProject.file('keys/sign.properties')))

This will nail down the file to be relative to the project (not the module) root, which is also where the settings.gradle file lives.

EDIT

I filed bug https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=64018 for this. The workaround I showed you above should do nicely, and is maybe a best practice in any event.
