A failure occurred while executing org.jetbrains.kotlin.gradle.internal.KaptExecution

by

All of sudden I start getting this error, and I am not getting idea why if anyone just let me know where this error is, will be enough helpful. As much I am able to get is this because of new update of android studio.
Detailed summary of error I am getting.

Android Studio’s UI was just hiding the error…

when the error occurred, it highlighted the item in the list view, and showed an unhelpful message in the terminal view.
bad bad

to find the real error, select the root item in the list view so that Android Studio would display the whole build output in the terminal view, then scroll to find error.
good good
