Gradle elm-plugin issue

Trying to build an http4k server that serves up an Elm UI. Using the gradle Elm plugin https://github.com/tmohme/gradle-elm-plugin.

Solved

Solution (executionDir specified from project root šŸ¤®):

elm {
    sourceDir = file('src/main/elm/ui')
    executionDir = "${rootProject.projectDir}/webserver/src/main/elm"
    executable = org.mohme.gradle.Executable.Provided.INSTANCE
    targetModuleName = 'elm.js'
    debug = false
    optimize = true
}

Original Problem

The following fails:

./gradlew elmMake

But, if do the following, elmMake works:

cd webserver
../gradlew elmMake

This also fails:

./gradlew webserver:elmMake

with:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "elm" (in directory "src/main/elm"): error=2, No such file or directory
