I can't really find any other Post which handles the same issue.
Any idea what is triggering the error and how to solve it?
Many thanks for the help in advance.
Edit
build.gradle:
if (project.hasProperty('nodeInstall')) {
node {
version = "${node_version}"
npmVersion = "${npm_version}"
yarnVersion = "${yarn_version}"
download = true
}
}
gradle.properties:
node_version=6.11.4
npm_version=5.5.1
yarn_version=1.2.1

The solution to this problem was frighteningly simple.
Since I was fixing another problem, I had reinstalled node globally on my computer. Doing that, I didn't think of that with reinstalling node the newest version would be installed.
So I had to set the node version to the defined version in the gradle.properties.
Put this in the terminal: nvm default v6.11.4
Since this is setting the node version globally, I highly recommend using Docker.
