Cannot build gradle project: invalid type code: B3 using Java 11

Question

I'm using Java 11 for the project. Gradle version is 5.5. IntelijIDEA 2019.1.3

So, when I'm building the project, I get the error:

Cause: invalid type code: B3

Stacktrace shows me:

org.gradle.internal.exceptions.LocationAwareException: Build file 'D:\project\scripts\build.gradle' line: 21
A problem occurred evaluating project ':scripts'.
    at org.gradle.initialization.exception.DefaultExceptionAnalyser.transform(DefaultExceptionAnalyser.java:99)

    at org.gradle.initialization.exception.StackTraceSanitizingExceptionAnalyser.transform(StackTraceSanitizingExceptionAnalyser.java:29)

And the command gradle task dev update tells me:

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating project ':scripts'.
> Could not find method leftShift() for arguments [build_44ncodnspa3jbc57fnmmpuh13$_run_closure1@4c5511e6] on task ':scripts:dev' of type org.gradle.api.DefaultTask.

BUILD FAILED

In build.gradle file code that gives me the error is:

task("dev") << {
    println "executing dev"
    liquibase {
        activities {
            main {
                changeLogFile changeLog
                classpath "$projectDir/src/main/resources/"
                url 'jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/project'
                username 'testName'
                password 'testPassword'
                liquibaseSchemaName 'liquibase'
            }
        }
    }
}

I used solution with unticking the flag Settings -> Experimental -> Only sync the active variant.

But can I solve the issue via code and without changing IntelijIDEA settings? Because syncing the project is important thing as process of optimization. Especially, if it's large project.

After analyzing and finding updated syntax, I changed a bit to:

task("dev") {
    doLast {
        println "executing dev"
        liquibase {
            activities {
                main {
                    changeLogFile changeLog
                    classpath "$projectDir/src/main/resources/"
                    url 'jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/project'
                    username 'testName'
                    password 'testPassword'
                    liquibaseSchemaName 'liquibase'
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Eventually, updated code helped me to solve the issue without using settings of IntelijIDEA.

And gradle task dev update works successfully.
