Facing an error while building. Gradle may be corrupt

Question

I'm getting the following error:

    Error:org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.OutputFilesCollectionSnapshotter$OutputFilesSnapshot cannot be cast to org.gradle.api.internal.changedetection.state.DefaultFileCollectionSnapshotter$FileCollectionSnapshotImpl
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a></li><li>The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
<a href="stopGradleDaemons">Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)</a></li><li>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.</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

Can anyone tell me how to solve it?

If it doesn't work then try for this solution:

• Clone project to a new folder

• Remove .gradle, .idea folders

• Add as a new project (File > Open > [new folder])

What do you mean by "please configure android sdk"? – Diarthrosis

Answer 3

In my case, I had to change the following:

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'

I brought apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android' at the bottom of the list.

So it is now

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'
apply plugin: 'com.google.firebase.crashlytics'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.android'

In my opinion, plugin ordering doesn't matter. – Skirting
