Hi everyone,

I've just created a new Beat using the documentation from [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/new-beat.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/libbeat/current/new-beat.html). However, the generated `.travis.yml` file causes Travis to fail:

 ![Selection_844](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/a/a/aa2b44b97707e900355cb9a81d248abe3400a6db.png)

The `chmod` call is conducted on a non-existing directory. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Thanks  
Max

fyi: Deleting the `chown` line from `.travis.yml` gets rid of the error and the Travis build is green then.

@makkes Could you file an issue for that on Github?
