Answer 1

You may have originally created the project via File->New->Project From Version Control. This doesn't seem to always set the project up as a Gradle project, even if there is a build.gradle in the root directory. To solve this:-

1. Close IntelliJ.
2. Delete the .idea folder in the project.
3. Start IntelliJ and select 'Open'.
4. Navigate to the project folder and open it.

The project will be recognised as Gradle and be set up as such.
