Cannot compile protobuf using gradle plugin

[davidsun]

My project is using gradle with proto3 dependencies. When BitBucket pipeline generates the proto Java file, it shows error:

Execution failed for task ':generateProto'.> java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "protoc": error=2, No such file or directory

indicating that the protoc command cannot be found. I'm wondering how I can fix it.

Did you find a solution?

Up till now, and no solution? 

I know the issue might be with the image used so one might need another custom image but can't seem to find one

please any help
