Job doesn't find appspec file

[delpinoconsulting]

I'm trying to build and deploy on a Jenkins node, and as long as the appspec has no "Per Deployment" configuration, the job completes (i.e., regular appspec.yml)

If I choose the option of "Appspec.yml per Deployment Group", the job never completes with the following error:

Failed CodeDeploy post-build step; exception follows.
/appspec.staging.yml file does not exist

Build step 'Deploy an application to AWS CodeDeploy' marked build as failure

I've tried using a custom Workspace, and even copying the file to the remote FS root to no avail.

Any help on how to successfully build and deploy from a node would be greatly appreciated.

Merging this with https://github.com/awslabs/aws-codedeploy-plugin/issues/63 as they appear to be overlapping issues.
