I've been facing the exactly same issue after installing the latest Kotlin Plugin yesterday. This is what resolved the issue for me: I had to change the version of Gradle used as the build tool to (again) use the version installed on my local system. It seems to me that installing the update has caused my settings to be changed as well.

For doing to open your settings (File -> Settings) and navigate to the Gradle settings (Build, Execution, Deployment -> Build Tools -> Gradle)

There you will see a dropdown for Use Gradle from:. This for me was set to the gradle-wrapper.properties file which it couldn't locate. I changed the selected value to Specified location and ensured that the path which is then displayed is the path to my local Gradle installation. Finally click OK to save the settings.

This is what resolved the issue for me. Hope this helps!

For documentation purposes let me also include the different versions of the tooling on my system (truncated):

    I got the same error after taking the latest version of Intellij. If you're using Java 14 you may need to install the latest version of Gradle. The above solution only worked for me after upgrading my Gradle from version 5.6.2 to 6.3 which I think has the support for Java 14. – robbie70 Apr 25 '20 at 15:13
  • For Windows users, in a fresh IntelliJ install and after installing OpenJDK 14, also run `choco install gradle` (if you got Chocolatey, that is) and then follow the instructions from this answer, pointing to whatever folder choco installed gradle. It is the only thing that worked for me (in a Kotlin Ktor project). – AlfredBaudisch May 27 '20 at 09:22
  • I did exactly same steps to resolved this issue. Issue resolved long back, forgot to update on this thread. Thank you @agrineur. – amitwdh Sep 09 '20 at 06:02

You have to use a more recent version of Gradle:

you can change the distributionUrl to 

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.4.1-bin.zip

in gradle\wrapper\gradle-wrapper.properties (or wherever your use gradle from in the settings is pointing to).

    As a newcomer who just started learning Kotlin/Android development, this worked out the best. I have Set up the latest Gradle on my Windows machine, set the PATH, and updated this property in my demo app project. Synced again and all just fell in place. Thanks! – Ikon May 30 '20 at 09:23

    To figure out which version is latest, see which one is listed at the top of the list in https://gradle.org/releases/. – Solomon Ucko Jul 12 '20 at 18:18
  • This worked for me too. And to all other newcomers, don't forget to click the little "Load Gradle Changes" button in the top right-hand corner of the file's edit pane after saving it so that the changes actually take effect. As much as I'm enjoying Kotlin, there's still a lot of little quicks like this in IntelliJ that I'm finding highly frustrating. – Mark Feldman Aug 24 '20 at 12:49

You can manually download the latest version of Gradle (https://services.gradle.org/distributions/), unzip it in your 'JavaVirtualMachines' folder, then in IntelliJ navigate to Preferences>Build,Execution,Deployment>Gradle. Find 'Use Gradle From' then choose 'specified location' from drop down, and in the box to the right, JavaVirtualMachines location with your gradle folder (for me it was gradle-6.8-rc-1-all.zip). Choose that folder, your system will rebuild and download dependancies, and the error will die.

  1. Navigate to https://services.gradle.org/distributions/
  2. Download gradle-6.8-rc-1-all.zip (or newer)
  3. Unzip and place in /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/
  4. IntelliJ->Preferences->Build,Execution,Deployment->Gradle
  5. Choose 'Specified Folder'
  6. Designate 'gradle-6.8-rc-1-all' folder as target
  7. Profit

Open ${PROJECT_DIR}/gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file and update gradle version to the latest version.

enter image description here

And run Tools > AGP Upgrade Assistant...

This tends to happen when the projects wrapper is specifying an older version that's incompatible with the current environment. When that's the case, one option is to update the wrapper to the latest, or at least newer, version.

This may make the project incompatible with an older build environment, so you have to consider whether it's more appropriate to adjust the environment or adjust the project.

To check the version

$ ./gradlew --version

------------------------------------------------------------
Gradle 6.2.1

Build time:   2020-02-24 20:24:10 UTC

Kotlin:       1.3.61
Groovy:       2.5.8
Ant:          Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.7 compiled on September 1 2019
