Build error: "No such version exists"

[Keksuccino]

As already mentioned here, there are some problems with mod building at the moment. It seems like it fails to check for existing versions and throws this error:

 

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* Where:
Build file 'F:\Coding\Workspaces\Eclipse\forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-mdk\build.gradle' line: 25

* What went wrong:
A problem occurred evaluating root project 'forge-1.12.2-14.23.5.2768-mdk'.
> No such version exists!

* Try:
Run with --stacktrace option to get the stack trace. Run with --info or --debug option to get more log output.

BUILD FAILED

Total time: 3.957 secs

 

Are there any workarounds for it?

1. Dude it's a gradle error, source code isn't needed.

I have this problem too. It happened after the release of Forge for 1.13. All ForgeGradle except version 1.13 have this error.

that fixed it, thanks!  

//EDIT: For people who try to setup a workspace for <1.13: You need to set the ForgeVersion.json  file to read-only so it can't be changed every time you try to setupDecompWorkspace ^^
