Gradle build always fails on different projects

I am trying to build Gradle projects. Installed Gradle's latest version (6.0.1) using Homebrew. When I try gradle build in various projects (for example https://github.com/arnabmitra/trustlines-demo), it gives this error:

Starting a Gradle Daemon (subsequent builds will be faster)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError (no error message)
> org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultSourceDirectorySet.<init>(java.lang.String, org.gradle.api.internal.file.FileResolver, org.gradle.api.internal.file.collections.DirectoryFileTreeFactory)

* 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 1m 25s

Similar errors happened with other projects. It's my first time using Gradle (come from Maven) and what I am trying to do is just compile the project to have .class files.

If you are using Kotlin 1.3.10, update Kotlin to at least 1.3.20.

Issue was that Kotlin 1.3.10 uses the DefaultSourceDirectorySet constructor via reflection which has been removed in Gradle 6: https://discuss.gradle.org/t/the-defaultsourcedirectoryset-constructor-has-been-deprecated/29610

Don't use your installation of gradle. Use ./gradlew. That will automatically download and use the version of gradle that the project uses, instead of an incompatible version.

See https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/gradle_wrapper.html
