IntelliJ WSL Gradle Copy Task Ant chmod Problem

Help/Discuss
1

I’m trying to use IntelliJ 2022.1.3 installed on Windows with the project workspace and gradle user home location under my WSL user account home. I’m using the Gradle wrapper version 7.4, Adoptium JDK 17.0.3 to build and it appears that during application start script or spring boot start script generation it attempts to run a chmod operation delegated to ant and I think it has a problem finding the chmod command. I’m wondering if there’s anything special we need to do with the ant integration in order to get this to work?

Actually I think I somewhat solved it…I created a Run Configuration w/ an env variable override of PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin to get chmod on the path for ant. Is there anyway to set environment variables like this at the project Gradle settings level such that tasks in the Gradle tool panel work just by double clicking?
