problem there no indication expects keystore default. have tried putting keystore in .android\debug.keystore under jenkins_home directory. have tried put calabash_settings file (and .calabash_settings file) following:

{"keystore_location":"c:\\program files (x86)\\jenkins\\.android\\debug.keystore","keystore_password":"android","keystore_alias":"androiddebugkey"} 

i have found 1 issue gradle-calabash-android-plugin use in build.gradle not specify "-v" or "--verbose" calabash-gradle command spawns. have created fork , pull request change gradle-calabash-android-plugin project address issue: github.com/pedlar/gradle-calabash-android-plugin/pull/6

after use new version of gradle-calabash-android-plugin got useful debug output:

now not sure why calabash-android trying read keystore "c:/windows/system32/config/systemprofile/.android/debug.keystore" instead of "c:/users/jenkins/.android/debug.keystore". have jenkins running windows system service using login credentials user named jenkins on server.

so added file c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile.android\debug.keystore. still getting same error odd.

i new developing on windows platform trivial silly white space or slash direction issue have not been able figure out. help.

it turns out of original problem stemmed fact had installed jenkins service ran local system account (see logon tab in service properties). causing jenkins read / write stuff in various system directories , running permission issues.

the solution to:

1. delete jenkins windows service
2. create jenkins local account on server
3. login new jenkins user , install jenkins on again time jenkins user
4. when configuring jenkins sure make sure use service properties / logon / account / .\jenkins
5. make sure restart service after done

it last step had forgotten in end - doh! once did well!
