Hi I encountered an error while building gradle, I'm using a brand new cloned Forge Repository, on branch 1.17.x (no edits at all)

 

What I tried:

./gradlew.bat setup 

Import Gradle Project

 

Error:

PS C:\Users\user\Desktop\MinecraftForge> ./gradlew.bat setup
To honour the JVM settings for this build a single-use Daemon process will be forked. See https://docs.gradle.org/7.2/userguide/gradle_daemon.html#sec:disabling_the_daemon.
Daemon will be stopped at the end of the build
