IntelliJ IDEA; java.io.IOException: Invalid paths argument, contained no existing paths

I downloaded the forge mdk 1.18.2-40.1.0. I ran genIntellliJRuns, and it builds just fine, but when I run runClient, it gives me these errors:

Caused by: java.io.IOException: Invalid paths argument, contained no existing paths: [D:\FOLDER\ModTest\build\resources\main, D:\FOLDER\ModTest\build\classes\java\main]

AND

Execution failed for task ':runClient'.
> Process 'command 'C:\Users\USER\.gradle\jdks\adoptium-17-x64-hotspot-windows\bin\java.exe'' finished with non-zero exit value 1

I am using:

jdk-17.0.3_7 from Eclipse Adoptium

Windows 11

IntelliJ IDEA Community Version 2021.2, 64 Bit

Please help.
