Could not determine java version from '14.0.2'

Question

When I try to use ./gradlew I get these errors:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Could not determine java version from '14.0.2'.

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

My OS is MacOS Catalina Version 10.15.6,

My Java version is 14.0.2,

My gradle version is 6.6.1,

I installed gradle using brew install gradle,

and my JAVA_HOME variable is /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-14.jdk/Contents/Home

For some reason I cannot figure out the problem, any ideas?

If updating the switch doesn't work, update the value in the following property file:

cat gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

$  cat gradle/wrapper/gradle-wrapper.properties

zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.6.1-all.zip

Then, try again:

$ ./gradlew build

If you are using gradlew to execute gradle it may not be using a 6.3+(where support was added) version of gradle to execute your build. You should try upgrading your wrapper with the command

./gradlew wrapper --gradle-version 6.6.1
