The Solution

Your build.gradle file is defining a task with the name wrapper, likely to pin the gradle version, like:

task wrapper(type: Wrapper) { gradleVersion = '5.6.4' }

But you have already the gradle wrapper defined in the gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties file, like:

distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME distributionPath=wrapper/dists zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME zipStorePath=wrapper/dists distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-5.6.4-all.zip

If you have your gradle wrapper checked-in to source control, you can safely remove the wrapper task from the build.gradle file. Otherwise, remove the gradle-wrapper.properties file.
