The red notification bar at the top says: /org/gradle/tooling/BuildException (java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: /org/gradle/tooling/BuildException
. I can run a gradle refresh successfully, I can run the project successfully, but I cannot get that error to go away. I think my project is actually running fine, intellij just can't properly interpret the build.gradle.kts
file for whatever reason. Does anybody know what to do? I included an image. Clicking on the red bar does nothing. I can find no more information about the error message anywhere. I'm running the latest intellij EDU.

Deleting the entire .idea
as suggested Luxus would work, but would also be a little bit too extreme.
The problem comes from a misconfigured .idea/workspace.xml
, try to find your the part which look like this in the workspace.xml
file :
<component name="StandaloneScriptsStorage">
<option name="files">
<set>
<option value="$PROJECT_DIR$/your_module/build.gradle.kts" />
</set>
</option>
</component>
You'll have to delete the whole <component/>
tag, and maybe restart your idea to get rid of the issue.

Looks like https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-20903. Try to update your gradle version.

It definitely looks like that. However, I tried changing gradle versions several times with both the gradle wrapper and gradle itself. The error persists. FWIW, I also had IntelliJ set up to use the project wrapper. I tried pointing it at the gradle installed by homebrew and still had the error – Sam Feb 09 '22 at 13:08
