Can't compile project using Gradle and Kotlin - gradle

Question

After bumping up kotlin-gradle-plugin from 1.1.4-3 to 1.1.50 (or 51), as well as all Kotlin related libraries I got error like below when trying to import gradle files:
Unable to build Kotlin project configuration
Details: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: null
Caused by: java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: kotlin.reflect.jvm.internal.KClassImpl.getData()Lkotlin/reflect/jvm/internal/ReflectProperties$LazyVal;
Compilation works fine when using older version of plugin (1.1.4-3).
Full gradle file:
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'com.google.cloud.tools.appengine'
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'kotlin-kapt'
apply plugin: "net.ltgt.apt"
apply plugin: 'idea'
apply plugin: 'org.jetbrains.dokka'

EDIT - SOLUTION
Just to elaborate Jack's answer:
I had to locate gradle-wrapper.properties and change the distribution url to:
distributionUrl=https\://services.gradle.org/distributions/gradle-4.2.1-all.zip

Answer 1

I came across the same issue.
Use gradle 3.4(+) will solve it for me.
