Can I add external jar present in lib>jars folder using Gradle wrapper?

Question

I was successful in running TestNG(7.5) using Gradle but when I use Gradle wrapper then its giving error because it could not detect external Jars when using gradlew test

##TestNG run using Gradle##

build.gradle

apply plugin: 'java'


version = '1.0'



repositories {
   
}

dependencies {
   
    runtimeOnly fileTree('lib/jars') { include '*.jar' }
}


test {
    useTestNG(){
    suites 'testngXML/testng.xml'
    }
}
