Hi, I am trying to build kotlin repo, but getting

No compatible toolchains found for request filter: {languageVersion=6, vendor=any, implementation=vendor-specific} (auto-detect true, auto-download true)

error, how do I resolve this error? I am on macOS and have insatlled java6 using brew as mentioned in the README.

Add kotlin.build.isObsoleteJdkOverrideEnabled=true to local.properties file

Try running gradlew javaToolchains to see if the installed JDK 6 is detected by gradle.

If it's not, set the JDK_16 environment variable to the path to that JDK.

I tried running this command gradlew -q javaToolchains but even that failed with the error I've mentioned in the starting of this thread. Surprisingly it didn't give me the detected JDK versions on my device (even though I had multiple JDK installed on the standard path). I didn't try setting this JDK_16 env variable (will try it now), but uncommenting the flag mentioned by Dmitriy in gradle.properties file did the job. Thanks!
