Gradle kotlin Unsupported method Dependencies.getAtoms()

Question

Just started a new Android project with Studio 3.0 Canary 3 using kotlin and just trying to get it to do a gradle project sync. Currently failing with

Error:Unsupported method: Dependencies.getAtoms().
The version of Gradle you connect to does not support that method.
To resolve the problem you can change/upgrade the target version of Gradle you connect to.
Alternatively, you can ignore this exception and read other information from the model.

Anyone know what this means and how to get around it?

Probably just need to change the version of something.

I just managed to fix this by updating to Android Studio 3.0 Canary 4.
