in order to have it working, I copied following files/dirs from sample

hello-kotlin

project from the

v0.8.0

tag ( https://github.com/gradle/gradle-script-kotlin/tree/v0.8.0/samples/hello-kotlin ): -

gradlew

-

gradlew.bat

-

gradle/

(ofc v0.8.0 is not the newest one, but it was when I configured gradle-script-kotlin in my project)

and probably you have to configure IntelliJ to use gradle defined in gradle wrapper configuration in your project (or maybe it’s autodetected by defaut? I;m just guessing)

To be correct: I’m guessing that your problem is because of using improper version of Gradle. I was unable to write Gradle in Kotlin with official releases.
