Jenkins not recognising custom Gradle tasks

I have been trying to run unit tests from my build.gradle file with Jenkins. If i use the command ./gradlew tasks in the terminal in android studio I am able to see the custom tasks which I have set up. However if i try to run the same command via jenkins I am not able to see them in the tasks output.

Code snippet from my build.gradle

task runDataUnitTests(dependsOn: [':data:test']) {
    description 'Run unit tests for data layer.'
}

task runBusinessUnitTests(dependsOn: [':business:test']) {
    description 'Run unit tests for business layer.'
}

task runPresenterUnitTests(dependsOn: [':presenter:test']) {
    description 'Run unit tests for presenter layer.'
}

task runAllUnitTests(dependsOn: [runDataUnitTests, runBusinessUnitTests, runPresenterUnitTests]) << {
    group = 'My tasks'
    description 'Run unit tests for all layers.'
}

task testingTaskmma{
    group = 'My tasks'
    println 'is this task seen'
}

As you can see there are other custom tasks which I have created which are also missing from the jenkins output(e.g. testingTaskmsma, hello etc. ) I have tried my Jenkins setup with using the gradle wrapper and invoke grade options (using the grade plugin for jenkins) and neither works.

The problem was an incorrect path from the Jenkins server. After I renamed a job I didn't realise that a brand new workspace was created so I was pointing to the previous workspace. Also I have found it is better to use shell commands instead of the grade plugin for Jenkins since that is how I was able to track down my problem.
