Specified for property 'libraryInputFile' does not exist

The bug
I am using Flutter and the Firebase Auth plugin throws an error on compiling in debug mode in visual studio code. The app successfully build many times, but out of a sudden this error below starts showing up.

How did this problem suddenly arise and how to fix it?

Launching lib\main.dart on Android SDK built for x86 in debug mode...

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
A problem was found with the configuration of task ':firebase_auth:createFullJarDebug'.
> File 'C:\Users\matre\SoftwareDev\waver\build\firebase_auth\intermediates\runtime_library_classes\debug\classes.jar' specified for property 'libraryInputFile' does not exist.

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