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.

• 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

Inizia riproducendo il problema con un progetto Gradle in VS Code, quindi esamina i punti di ingresso OutputLocationUpdater.java e BaseConfigurator.java indicati nello stack trace. Verifica come sono configurate le cartelle di output annidate e accertati che la sincronizzazione venga completata e che gli import Java vengano risolti senza l’errore segnalato.
