gradle: Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.DefaultConvention'

Question

I successfully (as I suppose) build gradle-project, using IntelliJ IDEA. Gradle version is 6.7. But I receive the following ERROR-message:

 Unable to load class 'org.gradle.api.internal.plugins.DefaultConvention'.

Possible causes for this unexpected error include:

• Gradle's dependency cache may be:
  • corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.) Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)
  • The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem. Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)
  • Your project may be using a third- party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.
  In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

I tried:

• Kill all gradle daemons: "pkill -f '.GradleDaemon.'" and "kill PID"
• Disable daemons, by entering in gradle.property "org.gradle.daemon=false"
• Reinstall the gradle
• Invalidate cash and restart Idea
• Restart Ubuntu

But without any success.

• Andrey: Try changing the Gradle version for the project: jetbrains.com/help/idea/gradle.html#gradle_version_install Provide complete output including the error if it remains.
