According to the build scan it can build. There is no issue. It's only a 'visualization' issue. Do you see at the top of the file in IntelliJ a (I guess it is yellow) message like "apply new context" or something? Then click it. It should resolve the red warnings...

There is no such option

apply new context

Thanks for the report @IgorGanapolsky. As @StefMa said, this is a IDE problem. It is due to a mismatch in IntelliJ setup between the JDK used for Gradle and the JDK used for the project sources. The script editor can't find java.lang.String!

This is gradle/gradle#9195

Using the same Java version for Gradle in IntelliJ and your Project SDK in IntelliJ will fix this.
If you can't use the same Java version for Gradle in IntelliJ and your Project SDK in IntelliJ then you'll need to be using Gradle >=6.0 and the Kotlin IntelliJ Plugin >= 1.3.50.

Closing, please reopen if the problem persists after applying the above.
