Description

After upgrade from 2.2.13.RELEASE to 2.3.8.RELEASE or 2.4.2
it is starting to ask by resolving project dialog to resolve project dependencies, but it is unsuccessful so only option to close a dialog and problem icon is shown on projects that depends on any project dependencies.
But :

• it is possible to run gradle task via Clean, Build, Run action from context menu
• Project properties dialog seems ok
• but such resolving dialog is forced to open by each start of IDE and problem icon on projects persists

https://docs.gradle.org/current/dsl/org.gradle.api.artifacts.dsl.DependencyHandler.html#N1748D

It only helps if it is also specify a "configuration" in project dependency.
Using different configuration of course leads to case to be added project as jar
or as folder in Project properties, but without that Project Properties is presented
in folder form, but problem icon shown on particular project.
