IntelliJ groovy/lang/Closure Error - intellij-idea

Question

When trying to import a new project from the build.gradle in IntelliJ I get a "Resolve Error | Cause: groovy/lang/Closure". Has anyone seen this before or know what causes this error?
I get the same error when I change the Gradle JVM version or the gradle wrapper options (shown in picture above)
I'm using IntelliJ Idea V 2016.2.4
Here's my IntelliJ log :

Answer 1

Close IntelliJ, and kill all of java process(use ps and kill), then reopen IntelliJ.
It works for me.
