I just created a new LibGDX project and imported in Android Studio 3.0 with Gradle 4.6 Including Desktop, android and IOS modules. Android runs fine but desktop throws NullPointerException and I have no idea why. Here is the full stacktrace.

I added the following lines to the Desktop class as another post suggested this could be related to OpenGL:
System.setProperty("org.lwjgl.opengl.Display.allowSoftwareOpenGL", "true");
config.title = "Mygame";
config.width = 1920;
config.height = 1080;
But Unfortunately nothing changed. I would like to debug the game using the desktop module, as debugging in android emulator is a pain. any help is appreciated. again, the above 4 lines are the only changes I made to the boilerplate code.
I created a fresh new project and still got the same error.
Turns out, as mentioned in this thread, turning off
configure on demand
by adding:
org.gradle.configureondemand = false
to "gradle.properties" file and unchecking "configure on demand" in project properties fixes the issue, as I verified.
