Gradle – Module … is not backed by gradle

build.gradlegradleintellij-13intellij-idea

I'm using IntelliJ IDEA Pro 13.1.2. Never used any versions below 13.

When trying to run build.gradle from IDE I get the message:

Module is not backed by gradle

I can run this script from the command line just fine.

The "root" directory has both .gradle and gradle sub-directories and, in general its structure is very similar to another module from the same project where I can run its build from IDE without problems.

Any suggestions on further troubleshooting?

If you didn't set up the IDE project via "Import Project" and then pointing to a Gradle project, you may have to link the IDE project to the Gradle project. This can be done in the "Gradle" window.

You should use the -x command line argument which excludes any task.

Try:

gradle build -x test

The link in Peter's comment changed. Here is the diagram from the Gradle user's guide

Java – IntelliJ inspection gives “Cannot resolve symbol” but still compiles code

First of all you should try File | Invalidate Caches and if it doesn't help, delete IDEA system directory. Then re-import the Maven project and see if it helps.

In some weird cases compiled classes may report wrong info and confuse IDEA. Verify that the classes from this jar report correct names using javap.
