Call directly a binary program in subdirectory

[GlassGruber]

I've tried the following but it results just in a "not found" message printed.

version: '3'

tasks:
  run_program:
    cmds:
      - relative/path/subdirectory/binary.exe  'some argument'

Result

task.exe run_program
task: [run_program] relative/path/subdirectory/binary.exe  'some argument'
not found
task: Failed to run task "run_program": exit status 127

I've also tried editing PATH via env like suggested in #482
but no dice

version: '3'

env:
  PATH: '{{joinPath .TASKFILE_DIR "relative" "path" "subdirectory"}};{{.PATH}}'


tasks:
  run_program:
    cmds:
       - echo {{.PATH}}
       - binary.exe  'some argument'

Result with modified PATH below, looks like it's ignored but the echoed path is correct.

task.exe run_program
task: [run_program] binary.exe  'some argument'
"binary.exe": executable file not found in $PATH
[... big echoed path ...]

I'm on a Windows machine.

What am I missing?

I hope it's not a RTFM issue, thank you for your time!

First, the error message is correct, so you have a few possibilities: the relative path is wrong, the executable is missing ... so run the command manually, echo the working dir to check its what you think, 'ls' the contents of the directory (you should then see the executable you are trying to run).

Probably, the slashes are wrong? Something like this might work better:

tasks:
  run_program:
    cmds:
      - {{fromSlash relative/path/subdirectory/binary.exe}}  'some argument'
