Gradle Error:Gradle DSL method not found: 'executeWithoutThrowingTaskFailure()'

Question

I've recently updated android SDK tools to v23 and now when I open a project of mine it cannot compile, im getting this message:

Error:Gradle DSL method not found: 'executeWithoutThrowingTaskFailure()'

Does someone knows what can be the issue here? Here is my app.gradle code:

buildscript {
    repositories {
        maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    }

    dependencies {
        classpath 'io.fabric.tools:gradle:1.+'
    }
}

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

apply plugin: 'io.fabric'
apply plugin: 'android-apt'
apply plugin: 'com.raizlabs.griddle'
apply plugin: 'com.neenbedankt.android-apt'

repositories {
    mavenCentral()
    maven { url 'https://maven.fabric.io/public' }
    maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
}

android {
    compileSdkVersion 23
    buildToolsVersion "23.0.1"

    defaultConfig {

        minSdkVersion 10
        targetSdkVersion 23

        versionName "1.3.0"
    }
    buildTypes {
        release {
            minifyEnabled false
            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'
        }
    }
}

dependencies {

    compile('com.crashlytics.sdk.android:crashlytics:2.5.0@aar') {
        transitive = true;
    }

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

Fixed mine by closing Adroid Studio and then

$ cd <project root>
$ rm -r .idea

Then start up Android Studio and re-open your project. This forces Gradle to build the project again and hopefully your issue will be sorted.
