Execute task in subdirectory

[davthu]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Is it possible to set the current working directory before executing a task? And if so, is it possible to set a relative path (relative to the build.gradle file)?

Describe the solution you'd like

task runBuildNPM(type: NodeJsTask, dependsOn: [installNPM]) {
    require = ["npm"]
    executable = "npm"
    args = ['run', 'build'],
    workingDir = "./submodule"
}
