Gradle version 3.3 does not support forTask() method on BuildActionExecuter

Gradle Problem Overview

I just updated my Android Studio to 3.0 canary 1. Now I am working on my existing project on Android Studio 3.0 canary 1. By default gradle:3.0.0-alpha1 is set in my project: gradle_file. So I changed my gradle version to 2.2.3 and now I'm getting this error:

> Error:Failed to complete Gradle execution. > > Cause: The version of Gradle you are using (3.3) does not support the > forTasks() method on BuildActionExecuter. Support for this is > available in Gradle 3.5 and all later versions.

I attached my gradle file here

// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules.

buildscript {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.2.3'
        // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
        // in the individual module build.gradle files
    }
}

allprojects {
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
}

task clean(type: Delete) {
    delete rootProject.buildDir
}

Gradle Solutions

Solution 1 - Gradle

I've just had the same issue. Fixed it by changing Gradle distributionUrl in "gradle-wrapper.properties".

Here is what I have configured:

#Wed Mar 22 16:13:58 BRT 2017
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

Or,you can figure your gradle wrapper to 4.1 version.

All of the ways are both useful.
