Hello

I am following up on old tickets in case people are running into the same issue.

The reason for this issue is due to the line: working_directory: ~/code

By default on CircleCI, you are in the ~/ folder but when you run the special checkout step using: - checkout it will do a git clone into a directory called project.

Because of this when you run ./gradlew it will fail as the gradlew file will be located under ~/project

The resolution for this is to either set ./gradlew to ~/project/gradlew or set working_directory: ~/project. If you are changing to the full path please be aware this may need to be changed for other files such as .gradle from the example given above.

Kind Regards
