I got the same error but was able to successfully build and also deploy after I commented out the following line from the build.gradle file
/* task clean(type: Delete) {
delete rootProject.buildDir
} */

Are you still seeing this issue? I have not had any issues with using Gradle and the latest (3.1+) versions of Android Studio. I'll close this soon if there's no further issue.
