gradle error marker: Could not run build action using connection to gradle distribution

I had the same problem while following the Coursera course "Introduction to Software Testing".

To fix it, I had to manually configure the JAVA_HOME variable and install an older version of Eclipse instead of 2021-03 version (Try Eclipse Photon for example).

Also, check if the version of jdk you are using is compatible with your Gradle. For my case, I had to use jdk 8.
