FAILURE: Build failed with an exception

[DanGovo]

I have followed the installation steps to install java jdk and gradle and everything went on fine until I ran the gradle test command in terminal. In addition to the expected:
Task :test FAILED
GreeterTest > testThatGreeterReturnsTheCorrectGreeting FAILED
java.lang.AssertionError at GreeterTest.java:9
1 test completed, 1 failed
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

I am getting the following error which has stopped me from proceeding to the next steps.
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

• What went wrong:

I have Gradle 6.1 and have tried to upgrade to Gradle 7.0 using the gradle wrapper --gradle-version 7.0 command without success.

Hi @DanGovo, so far it seems as if you had done everything correct.

The test seems to complain about you not having properly implemented the function you are supposed to install.

Perhaps you can show us the file with your Greeter implementation?

Also please use proper markdown to format your posts, especially code is a lot more readable if you enclose it in triple back ticks:

```java
// I'm a comment
```

@iHiD why is the bot closing this when I transfer the issue? Or do I need to transfer via exercism/exercism?

It's a bug with the GitHub Action. Sorry. @kntsoriano is aware of it.

Thank you @NobbZ I will try and use the proper markdown next time. However, my issue is on the error message below. And how to upgrade my current version 6.1 to version 7.0

Thats just a warning, you can continue along for now. Once you update your gradle to version 7 you won't be able to continue working on exercism until the gradle-files have been updated.
