Task 'wrapper' not found in project ':app'. when trying to import spring dependency

I have a gradle project in intelliJ using the Java 8 JDK. The project runs fine until I try to add a spring dependency (I've tried spring boot starter and spring context).

build.gradle

/*
 * This file was generated by the Gradle 'init' task.
 */

plugins {
    id 'closet.java-application-conventions'
}

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.apache.commons:commons-text'
    implementation project(':utilities')

    implementation 'com.jfoenix:jfoenix:8.0.9'

    implementation 'org.springframework:spring-context:5.3.2'
}

application {
    // Define the main class for the application.
    mainClass = 'closet.app.App'
}

gradle-wrapper.properties

distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8-all.zip
distributionBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME
distributionPath=wrapper/dists
zipStorePath=wrapper/dists
zipStoreBase=GRADLE_USER_HOME

When I try to build I get the error Task 'wrapper' not found in project ':app' where app is the name of my module.

If I change https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8-all.zip to https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-6.8-bin.zip then it builds successfully, but it doesn't seem to add spring to the classpath as I can't access annotations like @Component or others.

What's the problem here?
