When importing a Grails 3+ project to IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, the Gradle build stops at “Starting Gradle Daemon...”.

This happens when a new Grails 3 project is created using the command “grails create-app projectName” and imported to IntelliJ IDEA using Gradle.
My system configuration:
- macOS Catalina
- IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate 2020.1
- Java 8
- Grails 3.3.5
- Groovy 2.4.15
The Gradle build fails with no other error messages.
“gradle”, “./gradlew”, “./gradlew bootRun” commands work as expected on the terminal.
Check the Gradle JVM which is set for project and make sure it is compatible for the Gradle version used in project:
Try setting different JDKs including the 1.8 JDK there.
