IntelliJ IDEA Gradle error: Failed to notify build listener

Question

I use Gradle 7.0 with Kotlin DSL and IntelliJ IDEA 2019.3.3 (Ultimate Edition) and openjdk15 on Linux.

When I want to import my Gradle project I get the following error message:

> Task :prepareKotlinBuildScriptModel UP-TO-DATE

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Failed to notify build listener.
> 'java.lang.String org.gradle.api.artifacts.result.ComponentSelectionReason.getDescription()'

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 2s

When I run the same thing from a terminal without IDEA, it works just fine. When I change the version to 6.8.1 it also works just fine.

How do you fix this error or is this a known problem and I have to wait for another release of either tool?

Answer 1

I had a similar issue in the Intellij-IDEA 2017.3 on my Mac. This was resolved when I try IntelliJ-IDEA 2021.2(Community Edition).
