Gradle error: Cannot choose between the following variants of org.kodein.di:kodein-di-core:6.4.1

I get the following Gradle error at compile time when trying to build simple Hello World code, as a preparation to play with Kodein, using Intellij IDEA 2019.2.3 CE. How do I fix it?

Main.kt

fun main() {
    println("Hello, World!")
}

build.gradle

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.kodein.di:kodein-di-generic-jvm:6.4.1'
}

Project SDK JDK 1.8.0_222

Groovy version:

// FIX KAPT incapacity to find the right variant
// https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-31641
def usage = Attribute.of('org.gradle.usage', Usage)

dependencies {
    attributesSchema {
        attribute(usage)
    }
}

configurations.all {
    afterEvaluate {
        if (canBeResolved) {
            attributes.attribute(usage, project.objects.named(Usage, "java-runtime"))
        }
    }
}
// END FIX KAPT incapacity to find the right variant

If anyone comes here, a more defensive workaround is to only add the attribute if it’s not defined:

// FIX KAPT incapacity to find the right variant
// https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-31641
val usage = Attribute.of("org.gradle.usage", Usage::class.java)

dependencies {
  attributesSchema {
    attribute(usage)
  }
}

configurations.all {
    afterEvaluate {
        if (isCanBeResolved && !attributes.contains(usage)) {
            attributes {
                attribute(usage, project.objects.named(Usage::class.java, "java-runtime"))
            }
        }
    }
}

This prevents other plugins/configurations relying on Usage to have their values overriden (see https://github.com/apollographql/apollo-android/issues/3098)
