Gradle version 3.3 does not support forTask() method on BuildActionExecuter

Question

I just updated my Android Studio to 3.0 canary 1. Now I am working on my existing project on Android Studio 3.0 canary 1. By default gradle:3.0.0-alpha1 is set in my project: gradle_file. So I changed my gradle version to 2.2.3 and now I'm getting this error:

Error:Failed to complete Gradle execution.

Cause: The version of Gradle you are using (3.3) does not support the forTasks() method on BuildActionExecuter. Support for this is available in Gradle 3.5 and all later versions.

I attached my gradle file here

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.  buildscript {     repositories {         jcenter()     }     dependencies {         classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'         // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong         // in the individual module build.gradle files     } }  allprojects {     repositories {         jcenter()     } }  task clean(type: Delete) {     delete rootProject.buildDir }

I've just had the same issue. Fixed it by changing Gradle distributionUrl in "gradle-wrapper.properties".

Here is what I have configured:

#Wed Mar 22 16:13:58 BRT 2017 distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Answer 2

Change in the file "gradle-wrapper.properties".

Put this line and Sync Project-

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip 

This will work. For Check latest version services.gradle.org/distributions

After changed, Sync Project, Clean and Rebuild project once from Build menu.
