Please make changes as per below to resolve this error.

Install Java SDK version: 14 or above.

In gradle-wrapper.properties please use grade version 6.3 or above.

For e.g:distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip


  1. This is because of the gradle version.

  2. Go to: gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties.

  3. Change a version of the course by this:

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.3-all.zip

The console outputs:

Here are the highlights of this release:

 - Improved error messages for unexpected failures
