In Artic Fox Canary 5, all my build.gradle.kts files are highlighted in red with the message: Cannot access 'java.lang.Object' which is a supertype of 'org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.RepositoryHandler'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies I am able to run my app well though.

if same build works in another IDE, probably changing the JDK fixes the issue

I'm using the embedded JDK

try another to confirm, sample oracle JDK 8

Thanks @Javier It worked like a charm!

@Jeff Hi, I have the same issue after I upgraded to Canary 8, Gtools.build 7.0.0-alpha08, distribution 6.8.2-bin.zip Now my gradle files are all marked with red underline and I get "Cannot access 'java.lang.Comparable' which is a supertype of..." Can you please elaborate on how you solved it? I'm using macOS

Hey @Lena Stepanova 🙂 Most of the time, this is a JDK related issue. I was initially using the embedded JDK. I solved it by changing the JDK at: File -> Project Structure -> SDK Location -> JDK location

I have tried both options I have in JDK location, which are actually the same, still tried switching, but it didn't have any effect
