IntelliJ Auto build with errors but not errors in editor

Question

I'm Using IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2019.2 to work on a Java w/gradle project.

When I try to run a JUnit test the Autobuild is triggered and it complains with the following message:

Auto build completed with errors

In the Problems tab I see over 100 erros and when I click on them to investigate I can see that these are not real errors, the editor has no red squiggly anywhere and if I look into specific errors (like java: cannot find symbol) I confirm they are invalid errors.

I've tried "Invalidate Caches / Restart" and "Rebuild Project" with no luck

Answer 1

I tried many things, but I think the issue got resolved when I switched the Gradle "Build and run using" setting from Gradle to IntelliJ.
