"The clojure executable isn’t on your ‘exec-path’" even though lein is on my exec-path (macOS)

I have the following exec-path (according to describe-variable):

("/usr/local/bin/" "/usr/bin/" "/bin/" "/usr/sbin/" "/sbin/" "/usr/local/Cellar/emacs-plus/25.3/libexec/emacs/25.3/x86_64-apple-darwin16.7.0/")

This is the lein executable path:

/usr/local/bin/lein

This is what happens when I run cider-jack-in:

The clojure executable isn’t on your ‘exec-path’

What gives?

Edit: (cider-lein-command is lein)

Navigate to the project root folder, where shadow-cljs.edn resides and run npm run watch then you'll be prompted to install shadow-cljs, type y and hit enter (Ok to proceed? (y) y) to install.

I would just like to build onto Jonah Benton's answer, in response to ackerleytng's question on how to configure cider to use lein instead:

To change cider build command from clojure to lein, set lein as the value for variable cider-default-repl-command.

For the emacs beginner, you can see and change a variable value with keys C-h v.

(from the comment)

Looks like cider is looking for the clojure command, not the lein command. "clojure" is an executable that was introduced with the new cli tool:
