Fail to run desktop app with desktop:run LIBGDX

Question

I am using android studio idea for my libgdx project. I configured custom desktop configuration setting

Tasks: desktop:run
Gradle Project: mygame

Running android works fine but running this configuration brings the following error

9:08:42 PM: Executing task 'desktop:run'...

Executing tasks: [desktop:run]

Configuration on demand is an incubating feature. WARNING: Configuration 'compile' is obsolete and has been replaced with 'implementation'. It will be removed at the end of 2018 Gradle now uses separate output directories for each JVM language, but this build assumes a single directory for all classes from a source set. This behaviour has been deprecated and is scheduled to be removed in Gradle 5.0 at build_4irp102idy0ifcnkhwn53osnp$_run_closure3.doCall(D:\\LibgdxProjects\\Tembo\\desktop\\build.gradle:22) (Run with --stacktrace to get the full stack trace of this deprecation warning.)

• What went wrong: java.lang.NullPointerException (no error message)

How can i fix this. I tried downgrading my gradle version but the minimim supported is 4.4

NOTE: running gradlew desktop:run on project root works.

当前不支持此版本的gradle，可以使用版本2.3.3。有一个活动可以升级到Gradle 4.6，您可以在这里进行后续https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/5177
