Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKo

That is my build.gradle(app) file
Please help. I have upgraded my Android Studio to 3.0.0 And this code is procured from Android Sample Code. I just tried importing all of it.

The error is as follows :

Error:Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'. Internal compiler error. See log for more details

Because the question is answered and it's better to do official answer :

With databinding errors, we can usually find stacktrace in gradle console (not logcat or run window in android studio). They are usually marked as data binding error ****msg pointing to the file that has issues.

In this case we can check Cannot resolve type for category file:F:\Android\Kotlin\app\src\main\res\layout\item_category.xml which tells us the problem file was item_category.xml
