hey @Amstel90 this is a known issue with our com.liferay.node gradle plugin when your build is using gradle 4+.

Short term fix is to apply this script to your root build.gradle: https://gist.github.com/gamerson/6327e932a37b6d13e706913b1ef1c8bd

Long term fix is to upgrade your build to gradle 5.6.4 (using gradle wrapper --gradle-version=5.6.4 command). Then edit your settings.gradle to update your workspace plugin version to 2.5.7 (after you have updated to gradle5).

If you have any more issues, feel free to open a ticket here: https://issues.liferay.com/projects/LPS/issues and create a new issue with the component set to Dev Tools > Gradle Plugins
