Gradle suddenly broke

Question

I haven't modified any build files (and even tried reverting code), but Gradle started crashing on this:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':macros:compileScala'.
> No value has been specified for property 'zincClasspath'.

* Try:
Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

* Exception is:
org.gradle.api.tasks.TaskValidationException: A problem was found with the configuration of task ':macros:compileScala'.

        at org.gradle.execution.taskgraph.DefaultTaskGraphExecuter.execute(DefaultTaskGraphExecuter.java:110)

I was writing tests and after one run it just stopped working. Any ideas why it happened and how to fix it?

PS: Search only returned https://stackoverflow.com/a/43085471/1017211 which didn't help and I don't see any reason to update Gradle since it was working nicely with current version.

Have you tried on Android Studio:

File > Invalidate Caches / Restart...

and/or

Tools > Android > Sync Projects with Gradle Files

You can also delete the .gradle folder, then rebuild the project...

Thanks for your time. I am using IntelliJ IDEA and running gradle only from console. I have tried `gradle clean` and deleting `.gradle` as suggested, but problem persists (same message about zincClasspath). – monnef Aug 18 '17 at 18:00
WT*? I launched `./gradlew clean && ./gradlew test` and it failed. I haven't changed anything, just killed gradle daemon (which I tried few times before, but it didn't have any effect) and launched `./gradlew clean && ./gradlew test` again. Now it's **working**. I don't get it, Gradle is some serious bad black magic... – monnef Aug 18 '17 at 18:08
