Unable to sync gradle with `local_backend=true` on windows

When trying to sync gradle (or performing a fresh build) while having `local_backend=true` in Android Studio on win10, I get the following error:

```
Null extracted folder for artifact: ResolvedArtifact(componentIdentifier=rsdroid-release.aar, variant=local file, variantName=null, artifactFile=C:\Users\User\AndroidStudioProjects\Anki-Android\Anki-Android-Backend\rsdroid\build\outputs\aar\rsdroid-release.aar, isTestFixturesArtifact=false, extractedFolder=null, publishedLintJar=null, dependencyType=ANDROID, isWrappedModule=false)
```

This is despite having both `Anki-Android` and `Anki-Android-Backend` in the `AndroidStudioProjects` folder and having successfully built Anki-Android-Backend

A workaround i've found is to set `local_backend=false`, sync gradle, and then set it to true before running/debugging the app
