Gradle deploy task - Cannot run program "serverless" error=2, No such file or directory

Serverless Framework

Hi,

I have created my serverless application and have been testing it using the serverless command directly from the command line (e.g. serverless deploy) and everything is working as expected, now I have switched over to try to use the gradle deploy task that was automatically created by the serverless template I picked (aws-kotlin-jvm-gradle) but it fails with the following stacktrace;

The directory mentioned in the stacktrace is where I am running the serverless commands directly from the command line (e.g /Users/johnbartlett/workspace/test-project) and it works.

Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening?

UPDATE

By changing the default gradle deploy task to;

task deploy(type: Exec, dependsOn:'shadowJar') {
 commandLine 'usr/local/bin/serverless', 'deploy'
}

it seems to work! Why does it seem to require the full path to the program when it’s on the path and I can run it directly from the command line without the full path?

UPDATE 2

After changing it to the full path after a few runs I decided to try and switch it back and now it appears to be working… at a bit of a loss but I can only assume its environment based.

Thanks,
John
