Failed to determine task dependencies: xxx: check '

I have a project using Gradle 1.12, it plays well with gradle assemble

, but throws gradle build

an exception when executed :

* What went wrong:
Could not determine the dependencies of task ':JavaUtil:check'.
> groovy.lang.MissingMethodException: No signature of method: org.gradle.api.internal.file.DefaultSourceDirectorySet.getTaskName() is applicable for
rgument types: (java.lang.String, null) values: [findbugs, null]
Possible solutions: getName()

      

        
        
        
      

    

Having dependency settings in Gradle script of parent folder JavaUtil's

like this:

dependencies {
        compile (project (':JavaUtil')) {transitive = false}

      

        
        
        
      

    

The same error occurs when I executed gradle build

in the folder JavaUtil

.

Any ideas what's going on here?
