 Description   

I tried setting environment for an exec task, but it seems not to work:

task test {
exec

{ commandLine = ['echo', '\$TEST'] environment 'TEST': 'OK' }

}

Output:
$TEST

Expected:
OK

gradle --version

The exec action does not execute a shell, so environment variable substitution is not going to work. You'll need to do something like this, instead:

exec

{ commandLine 'bash', '-c', 'echo', '$TEST' environment ... }
