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

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

Empieza reproduciendo el fallo con un proyecto de Gradle en VS Code y, después, inspecciona los puntos de entrada OutputLocationUpdater.java y BaseConfigurator.java mencionados en el stack trace. Comprueba cómo están configuradas las carpetas de salida anidadas y verifica que la sincronización se complete y que las importaciones de Java se resuelvan sin el error indicado.
