I am new to Gradle and, to do date, have used simple build scripts for Kotlin applications developed using Intellij IDEA.
Recently, builds have been failing with the message:
22:46:05.867 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter]
22:46:05.868 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

22:46:05.870 [ERROR] [org.gradle.BuildExceptionReporter] A problem occurred evaluating root project ‘ptm-annualleave’.

The associated build script is:
buildscript {
ext {
kotlinVersion = '1.0.6’
springBootVersion = ‘1.5.1.RELEASE’
}
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
classpath(“org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-gradle-plugin:${springBootVersion}”)
classpath(“org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:${kotlinVersion}”)
classpath(“org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-allopen:${kotlinVersion}”)
}
}
apply plugin: 'kotlin’
apply plugin: 'kotlin-spring’
apply plugin: 'eclipse’
apply plugin: ‘org.springframework.boot’
jar {
baseName = 'ptm-annualleave’
version = ‘0.0.1-SNAPSHOT’
}
sourceCompatibility = 1.8
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
dependencies {
compile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-jpa’)
compile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-data-rest’)
compile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-web’)
compile(“org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib:${kotlinVersion}”)
compile(“org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-reflect:${kotlinVersion}”)
runtime(‘mysql:mysql-connector-java’)
testCompile(‘org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-test’)
}
I am unclear what the underlying cause of this error is or how to correct it.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
