I've followed the Detox guide for Android here to install on my react-native project - https://github.com/wix/Detox/blob/master/docs/Introduction.Android.md. But after running react-native run-android to build the app. I get the following error evaluating project :detox:
1: Task failed with an exception.-----------* Where:Build file 'C:\Users\brian\Documents\Projects\react-native-prototyping\node_modules\detox\android\detox\build.gradle' line: 2* What went wrong:A problem occurred evaluating project ':detox'.> Could not initialize class org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.plugin.sources.DefaultKotlinSourceSetKtI've looked in their issue tracker but didn't see a related issue. Looking at similar issues around Kotlin it seems it could be a conflict between my kotlin and gradle version. But I'm not sure how to determine the correct versions to use. I also did a ./gradlew clean in the android folder to no avail.
Question:
How can you resolve 'Could not initialize class ..sources.DefaultKotlinSourceSetKt' error?
Some details of my gradle and package setup are as follows:
