Gradle project fails to build while fetching non-existing snapshot distro

Source: microsoft/vscode-docs#3409 from @n8s16

I can’t seem to find a solution to this problem so I think this might be a bug. Before, I can easily run my spring boot gradle project in VSCode (with Java and Spring Boot extensions) migrated from STS3. I tried to setup VSCode and project (the same way how I setup before) to a new machine. And I encountered this issue:

Could not fetch model of type 'BuildEnvironment' using Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-6.0-20191016123526+0000-bin.zip'.
The specified Gradle distribution 'https://services.gradle.org/distributions-snapshots/gradle-6.0-20191016123526+0000-bin.zip' does not exist.
https://downloads.gradle-dn.com/distributions-snapshots/gradle-6.0-20191016123526+0000-bin.zip

To my understanding, VSCode cannot fetch the specific gradle distribution. But when I tried to build and run the code to STS3 again, it’s seems working properly. Thanks in advance.

Not familiar with Gradle part. @fbricon @snjeza do you have any idea what this is about?

Until then you can manually install the latest CI build (0.57.0) from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/jdt.ls/staging/.

Better manually delete .project, .settings/, ~/.toolings/ and clean the workspace directory
