> Failed to apply plugin [id 'kotlin'] > For input string: ""

Question

I am currently getting a strange error running a gradle-script on one computer (the same worked there already and still works on another computer) Looks like some cache problem - but deleting .gradle did not help and I do not know how to delete the other one FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

➜  kontinuum git:(ligi_wip2) ✗ ./gradlew clean run --stacktrace
Parallel execution is an incubating feature.

* Where:
Build file '/home/ligi/kontinuum/build.gradle' line: 15

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'kontinuum'.
> Failed to apply plugin [id 'kotlin']
   > For input string: ""

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.GradleScriptException: A problem occurred evaluating root project 'kontinuum'.

EDIT: * rm -rf .gradle did not help * executing it with another user works fine.

Answer 1

I had this problem, and found that deleting the build folder and then rerunning the build fixed it.

Answer 2

Try:
1. Build -> Clean/Rebuild project
2. File -> Invalidate Caches
3. As Martin answered - remove build folder from root of your project.
