Failed to configure project - Cannot nest output folder

I am unable to open a gradle project in VS Code without the below error message occurring. It prevents the java imports from processing properly, as it says they cannot be found.

Environment

• Operating System: Mac OSX
• JDK version: openjdk version "1.8.0_212"
• Visual Studio Code version: 1.42.0
• Java extension version: 0.55.1

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open project file that has build.gradle
2. Error fires

[attach a sample project reproducing the error]
attach logs

Current Result

Project does not configure, and all my java files say imports not found

Expected Result

The project configures

Additional Informations

Beginne damit, den Fehler mit einem Gradle-Projekt in VS Code zu reproduzieren, und untersuche anschließend die im Stacktrace genannten Einstiegspunkte OutputLocationUpdater.java und BaseConfigurator.java. Prüfe, wie die verschachtelten Ausgabeordner konfiguriert sind, und verifiziere, dass die Synchronisierung abgeschlossen wird und Java-Importe ohne den gemeldeten Fehler aufgelöst werden.
