Unnecessarily replacing a task that does not exist is not supported

I got the following error:

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Initialization script 'C:UsersUserAppDataLocalTempConsole_main__.gradle' line: 18

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred configuring root project 'demo'.
> Could not create task ':Console.main()'.
   > Unnecessarily replacing a task that does not exist is not supported.  Use create() or register() directly instead.  You attempted to replace a task named 'Console.main()', but there is no existing task with that name.

* 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.

* Get more help at https://help.gradle.org

BUILD FAILED in 236ms

Answer

Clear the cache and start the app again. This might happen when you recently upgraded gradle. If you are on intellij idea then choose file -> invalidate cache and restart.

If you are using gradle then delete your .gradle folder and run gradle again.
