In Gradle Exec Task, commandLine searching environment but not working directory for the executable

It seems the Exec commandLine does not look into the workingDir for the executable command, instead searching the environment.

If your project structure is the following: 

+ projectRoot
  + libraryMod
    - build.gradle
  + app
    - gradlew
    - build.gradle

and you want to run 

./gradlew -b ../libraryMod/build.gradle someTask

as an exec: 

exec{
  workingdir = getAbsolutePath("../app")
  commandLine = ['./gradlew', '-b ../libraryMod/build.gradle', 'someTask]
}

returns 

[org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Starting process 'command 'gradlew''. Working directory: /Users/dev/app Command: gradlew -b /Users/dev/libraryMod/build.gradle sometask
[DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Environment for process 'command 'gradlew'': {PATH=/usr/local/bin:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/opt/X11/bin, SHELL=/bin/bash, JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_25.jdk/Contents/Home, JAVA_MAIN_CLASS_29464=org.gradle.wrapper.GradleWrapperMain, TERM=xterm-256color, OLDPWD=/Users/dev/java/android/api/TestApp, USER=dev, TMPDIR=/var/folders/gj/c0vstk4s0c5632d92hp72prxy5h3g7/T/, APP_NAME_29464=Gradle, SSH_AUTH_SOCK=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.HaOOxHKo1q/Listeners, DISPLAY=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.G54BIfEQjR/org.macosforge.xquartz:0, XPC_FLAGS=0x0, __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING=0x7C580DE7:0x0:0x0, Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render=/private/tmp/com.apple.launchd.pUgDDkEH6R/Render, APP_ICON_29464=/Users/dev/app/media/gradle.icns, LOGNAME=dev, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8, XPC_SERVICE_NAME=0, PWD=/Users/dev/app, SHLVL=1, HOME=/Users/dev, BUILD_NUM=802}



[DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Changing state to: STARTING
[DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Waiting until process started: command 'gradlew'.
[DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Changing state to: FAILED
[DEBUG] [org.gradle.process.internal.DefaultExecHandle] Process 'command 'gradlew'' finished with exit value -1 (state: FAILED)

Is there a way to use exec such that the commandLine first argument looks in the workingDir?

I can run this successfully as a task: 

task publishAAR(type:GradleBuild){
description 'publish the lib module aar bundle to artifactory'
buildFile = libModScript
tasks = ['someTask']

}

but need to incorporate into a larger build file using exec.

Try instead setting the executable to the absolute path of the gradlew file.

exec {
    executable "${projectDir}/gradlew"
}
