Updated Android Studio to 3.1, and created fresh Kotlin project and added fresh Kotlin module to the main app. Now trying to build the project it fails at Configure build with "A problem occurred configuring project ':app'."
And the error under build tree is somewhat generic:
org.gradle.api.ProjectConfigurationException: A problem occurred configuring project ':app'. at

The project builds normally but when I click Run 'app' this comes up.
Here is my Gradle config (it just generated one):
// Top-level build file where you can add configuration options common to all sub-projects/modules. buildscript { ext.kotlin_version = '1.2.31' repositories { google() jcenter() } dependencies { classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.1.0' classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version" // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong // in the individual module build.gradle files } } allprojects { repositories { google() jcenter() } } task clean(type: Delete) { delete rootProject.buildDir } and other one:
