IntelliJ IDEA (2020.2): Gradle: The cache entry for initialization script (appears to be corrupted)

Question

I am working with Intellij Idea (CE)

2020.2.3

And using Gradle 6.7

I have the following behavior in Mac and Windows

In the IDE after to had imported the spring-framework project based on Gradle and the latter being configured as follows:

From above:

gradle user home and gradle home are customs locations

Note: the .gradle directory located in the user home is empty.

Always when I startup the IDE happens the following process:

The project is loaded:

Immediately and automatically the project is built it (and synchronized) as follows:

Note: I have this situation even applying the following configuration:

it according with the suggestion on:

IntelliJ (2020.2) - How disable 'Build project automatically' for a project based on Gradle?

Returning to the startup process - the Gradle Daemon runs as follows:

And later of some seconds arises the following error:

Practically the same error message for each item.

One:

Two:

Until this point the error message is:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
The cache entry for initialization script 'C:\Users\mjord\AppData\Local\Temp\sync.studio.tooling1.gradle' appears to be corrupted.

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

* Exception is:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The cache entry for initialization script 'C:\Users\mjord\AppData\Local\Temp\sync.studio.tooling1.gradle' appears to be corrupted.

BUILD FAILED in 181ms

About the file path:

C:\Users\mjord\AppData\Local\Temp\sync.studio.tooling1.gradle

Really appears two, as follows:

Both files have the same content.

These two files always appears when the IDE is running, if the IDE is closed, they disappear. I am assuming appears two because I have imported (but is closed) the spring-integration project (based on Gradle too)

But if I do Build -> Build Project as follows

It passes.

If I close and open the IDE again, all this situation happens.

Note: I read other similar posts in SO, about clear cache (I did do that and nothing) and something about Android (but I don't use Android).

How solve this? What is missing?

Plugins

According by Andrey's suggestion

disabling the Android Plugins: (I don't work with Android)

Android
Smali support

and restarting the IDE (is mandatory)

Now arises:

The error is:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
The cache entry for initialization script 'C:\Users\mjord\AppData\Local\Temp\ijinit.gradle' appears to be corrupted.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output. Run with --scan to get full insights.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 149ms

Observations:

The files about sync.studio.tooling#.gradle does not appear anymore, therefore they were only generated by Android.
Now appears other file in the same path: ijinit.gradle

It is the unique created

All was disabled about security to accomplish the suggested instructions.

Of course has no sense disable the gradle plugin because is need it by spring-framework

Does it help to disable **Android** plugin in Settings | Plugins? Also if you have antivirus/firewall try with it disabled or make sure that IDE [settings/caches directories](https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/tuning-the-ide.html#default-dirs) IDE installation home and project files are excluded from the scan. — Andrey, Nov 16 '20 at 09:20
Seems we are going to the right path, see the addition of the `Plugins` section. Thank You. — Manuel Jordan, Nov 16 '20 at 14:17

I finally solved the problem by "clean gradle cache dir":

"C:\Users\mjord\AppData\Local\Temp\ijinit.gradle" is NOT the KEY;
The real corrupted file is "Gradle local repository", may be there have some "Corrupted jars" cause it.

So, find your gradle user home, delete it or use a new one.
