Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.file.ProjectLayout.directoryProperty(Lorg/gradle/api/provider/Provider;)Lorg/gradle/api/file/DirectoryProperty;?

Question

gradle

If anything, this is a build of the Nuxt + Cordova project. Then I opened the platform in AS IDE and gives this error in the build tab.

Unable to find method 'org.gradle.api.file.ProjectLayout.directoryProperty(Lorg/gradle/api/provider/Provider;)Lorg/gradle/api/file/DirectoryProperty;'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:
Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)

The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)

Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.

In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Answer 1

This is very strange, but in order to fix the gradle, you had to specify the paths in /etc/environment

JAVA_HOME="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java"
ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Android/Sdk
ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=$HOME/Android/Sdk

then
source /etc/environment
accept the licenses programmatically
./sdkmanager --licenses
open AS IDE, ---|> Help tab ---|> Licenses -|> Accept
Also, before tearing off AS IDE, it was necessary to rebuild gradle

npm platform remove android
npm platform add android
npm build android

result

Task :app:assembleDebug
> Task :app:cdvBuildDebug

Perhaps some provider was not loaded due to licenses or the hail assembly was broken.
Also make sure that the SDK of the required version is installed.
May give out that Android target: not installed' this is here
