Fix the problem, then try refreshing this project and building it since it may be inconsistent.*\n\nThe suggested workaround is:\n\n* Disable **Gradle for Java** extension\n* Run **\"Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace\"**\n* Reload the project\n\nThis workaround **does fix the problem**, but only temporarily.\n\n---\n\n**Problem**\nEvery time I:\n\n* reload the window, or\n* close and reopen the project\n\nI have to run **\"Java: Clean Java Language Server Workspace\" again**, otherwise the same error appears.\n\nThis makes working with the project very inconvenient.\n\n---\n\n**Expected behavior**\nOnce the project is cleaned and loaded successfully:\n\n* It should stay in a consistent state\n* Reloading or reopening the project should not require cleaning the Java Language Server workspace again\n\n---\n\n**Actual behavior**\n\n* Project breaks again after reload\n* Same error repeats\n* Manual workspace cleaning is required every time\n\n---\n\n**Environment**\n\n* VS Code\n* Java multi-module Gradle project\n* Java Language Server\n* Gradle for Java extension enabled\n\n---\n\n**Additional notes**\nThis looks like a workspace cache or Gradle project import inconsistency issue.\nIt seems the Java Language Server does not correctly persist the resolved multi-module Gradle state across reloads.\n","author":{"url":"https://github.com/michael-abdul","@type":"Person","name":"michael-abdul"},"datePublished":"2026-01-23T00:45:54.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/4317/vscode-java/issues/4317"}
