I know there are lots of similar questions to this one, but they don't cover my situation: "1.-", where the - isn't a placeholder or a negative number but is exactly what the error log states.

BUILD FAILED in 33s

I tried several solutions to questions containing exact numbers describing what source release is invalid, but none of them worked. It also worked fine yesterday and stopped working after I restarted IntelliJ.

  • saying "this is not a duplicate" doesn't automatically so. I would say this part somewhat explains your issue: "Deprecated Gradle features were used in this build, making it incompatible with Gradle 5.0." – Stultuske Feb 12 '21 at 09:13
  • well I yesterday it worked alright after restarting intellij now i get this – Java Wizard Feb 12 '21 at 09:14

    I know you say it's not a duplicate, but have you actually tried all the suggestions in this post? I'm pretty sure at least one of them will be the cause of your problem.

  • Add your relevant gradle files for good measure. See [mre] – Zoe Feb 12 '21 at 09:30

    @JavaWizard then you should figure out what updates/changes have been done – Stultuske Feb 12 '21 at 09:31

It turned out that while closing intellij intellij rewrote sowmething in my build.gradle:

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = compileJava.sourceCompatibility = compileJava.targetCompatibility = '1.8' + '' // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly.

should be it but it was :

sourceCompatibility = targetCompatibility = compileJava.sourceCompatibility = compileJava.targetCompatibility = '1.-' + 
'' // Need this here so eclipse task generates correctly.
