What does mean "specified for property 'resDir' does not exist."

Question

When I build my project. Gradle result is underblock (I'm using data binding in some code)

Error:A problem was found with the configuration of task ':app:processDebugAndroidTestResources'.> Directory 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\"My project loaction"\app\build\intermediates\data-binding-layout-out\androidTest\debug' specified for property 'resDir' does not exist.

I' try many method (ex: gradle setting, Android stdio setting reset, disable instant run, make just empty directory). but this method is not work for me. Is any Idea of solution?

My env

Adnroid stuidio : ver 2.2.3

Gradle : ver 3.2 (use local)

Settings (Build, Execution, Deployment)

• Complier : All 4 check box checked
• Instant Run : Disable

I fixed this issue by deleting the .gradle/ directory in the project dir and kicking off a new build.
