Bamboo can't execute a command starting with "./" after upgrading to 5.4

Question

Bamboo is running on a Windows Server 2008 box.

We were on Bamboo 5.0.1 and I upgraded to 5.4.3. We have several jobs using Grails Wrapper and Gradle Wrapper. There are Executables registered in Bamboo of ./grailsw and ./gradle. These worked perfectly on the old version but after the upgrade the jobs are failing with the following error:

Failing task since return code of [./gradlew clean build] was -1 while expected 0

I've tried changing ./ to .\ and removing it entirely and all of those fail with the same message above. If I cd into the build directory and run the command with either .\ or just gradlew then it works fine.

When I'm running these commands I'm logged in as the same user that the service is running.

Thanks!

I contacted Atlassian Support about this issue and it was discovered that if you're using the newer version of Bamboo on Windows it won't execute a file that doesn't have an extension.
