kotlinlang

Not sure if this is an issue with the Kotlin plugin, or the Gradle Kotlin DSL, or something I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?

Append the following to the build file:
```
val compileKotlin by tasks.getting(KotlinCompile::class) {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
val compileTestKotlin by tasks.getting(KotlinCompile::class) {
    kotlinOptions.jvmTarget = "1.8"
}
```

Refresh Gradle in Intellij.

Works with Gradle *4.4* :point_up:. Which version of Gradle are you using?

If all else fails try invalidating the Gradle build cache. In Intellij press *Ctrl+Shift+a*, enter in *invalidate Gradle*, select the first option, and click on the restart button.

That worked, thanks! Did they change the task configuration syntax again? Seems pretty verbose. I'm using the `gradle-4.4-all` distribution.

<@U0BA5R9KL> The way you originally configured kotlin options to target jvm 1.8 should be enough. If these options aren't imported in IDE properly, please report a bug.

Think it was a stale cache, had to delete the `.idea` folder and `.iml` files and reimport the project from scratch. Thanks!
