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

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

Change in the file "gradle-wrapper.properties".

Put this line and Sync Project-

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

This will work. For Check latest version services.gradle.org/distributions

After changed, Sync Project, Clean and Rebuild project once from Build menu.

This happened when trying to build debug apk.

SOLUTION: Update Gradle version to 3.5

Navigate to File -> Project Structure -> Project -> Gradle Version = 3.5

This works for Android Studio 3.0

Please follow the below steps:

1. Open your project in android studio
2. In Android menu, open gradle-wrapper.properties
3. Change the distribution url line with the below line

distributionUrl=https://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.1-all.zip

4. Thats it. Build your project now.
