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

Question

I am working with Intellij Idea (CE)

• 2020.2.3

And using Gradle 6.7

I have the following situation:

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

Part of the solution is disable the Android plugin (I don't work with Android - so is fine for me).

But until now each time I start the IDE - it automatically builds the spring-framework project based on Gradle - therefore it starts the daemon and tries to build. But I receive the following error message:

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

I can confirm the ijinit.gradle file exists

but - why should be corrupted?

The Gradle configuration is as follows:

From above:

Notes

• Is used a custom gradle home
• Is used a custom user gradle home (repository)

Apart:

• In the PC/Laptop the .gradle directory located within the username directory is empty

I did a research in SO about this, but the most similar situation that appears is about the dependency cache corruption scenario, such as:

• Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.

Where the solutions suggested are about to configure the gradle-wrapper.properties file, but it does not exist in the original project and something about network issues (it does not apply in this case)

How fix this situation?
