title: Android build returns "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/android/tools/lint/LintCliClient"
body: <p>When I run <code>$./gradlew clean build</code> in my Android project, it returns this error and I can't figure out what's wrong. It worked before, but I don't know what caused it to break. In Android Studio the build is successful.</p>
  
  <p>I use Gradle version 5.2.1 and Android Plugin Version 3.3.1.
  Android Studio Version 3.3.1. </p>
  
  <p>How can I solve this?</p>
  
  <p>Stacktrace:</p>
