In Gradle 6.7 the init task did not make a build.gradle and this video is a demo of that.
I was on 5.6.1, so I upgraded to 6.7.1 in an elevated shell.
Back in my unelevated shell, I refresh the environment variables.
Now prepare for a new project like usual.
Import the project in IDEA and notice there is no build.gradle.
Today is Oct 24 and Gradle 6.7 was released recently. So maybe the missing build.gradle is a recent change.
uninstall 6.7
The Gradle daemon was locking this files since I had already imported in IDEA.
So kill the Gradle daemon.
install 6.6.1
refresh the environment variables
make a new project just like the one I started on 6.7
For this project based on 6.6.1, you'll see the build.gradle in the directory.
and it imports into IDEA just fine
