Intellij Idea - Gradle: Execution failed for task ':compileJava'

Question

I am trying to import Gradle project in Intellij Idea and getting an error. The following steps are taken:

1. "Import Project" -> open build.gradle file
2. "Use default gradle wrapper (recommended)" is checked.
3. Push "Ok" and get the dialog window with message "Compilation failed with exit code 2; see the compiler error output for details. Consult IDE log for more details (Help | Show Log)"
4. I open the log file and see the following stack trace:

2017-05-11 10:21:53,097 [  30507]   INFO -
.project.GradleProjectResolver - Gradle project resolve error

Answer 1

Try this:

1) File -> Invalidate caches / Restart

2) Shutdown Intellij Idea

3) Remove .gradle folder in the user home directory

4) Restart Intellij Idea let it download all the Gradle stuff it needs

After this it should builds successfully

Hope it helps)

Answer 2

Try using a different version of gradle. It seems you are using an older version. Latest version is 3.5. Also you can check which version is used in the original version and use that one.

If none works, try the following
1. Close the IDE
2. Delete .gradle folder in home directory
3. Start the IDE. Let it refresh the gradle project and download necessary files
