Hi,

I just tried to reproduce this on the very same commit (i.e. 508c38a450a) with the same configuration as you:

  Gradle Version        : 5.4.1
  OS Info               : Mac OS X 10.13.6 (x86_64)
  JDK Version           : 12 (Oracle Corporation 12.0.1 [OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 12.0.1+12])
  JAVA_HOME             : /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

The build went fine for me. Our development setup docs mention to define also JAVA8_HOME ... JAVA11_HOME and I suspected that this is the cause so I've removed all related environment variables until I was left with this:

daniel@io:7/elasticsearch ‹508c38a450a›$ env | grep "JAVA.*HOME"
JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
RUNTIME_JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home
JAVA12_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-12.0.1.jdk/Contents/Home

Running either ./gradlew clean or ./gradlew run still works fine for me.

What's odd is this here in your output:

Build file '/Users/es/elasticsearch/libs/core/bin/build.gradle' line: 108

That file does not exist for me. So I wonder whether you have uncommitted changes or other leftovers in your checkout. You can check this with git status. You can tell git to remove untracked files from your working tree with git clean -xdf. WARNING(!): This will delete all uncommitted files so proceed with caution if you have uncomitted changes). Alternatively you can also try with a fresh checkout in a different directory.
