IntelliJ android app artifact java.lang.assertionError

Question

I have followed android tutorial on making apps and finished first section and wanted to export result to mobile phone.

However, when I try to build artifact in intelliJ I get following error:

Error:Internal error: (java.lang.AssertionError) Unexpected node 
Android Packaging; nodes=[Module 'AndroidApp' production, Module 'app'java.lang.AssertionError: Unexpected node Android Packaging; nodes=[Module 'AndroidApp' production, Module 'app' production, Module 'myapplication' production, Module 'app' tests, Resources for 'app' production, Resources for 'app' tests, Artifact 'unnamed', Artifact 'app', gradle-resources-production:AndroidApp, gradle-resources-production:app, gradle-resources-production:myapplication, gradle-resources-test:AndroidApp, gradle-resources-test:app, gradle-resources-test:myapplication, Android Gradle Build Target]

Had a similar problem. Switched to Android Studio. No problems. It's a customised version of IntelliJ. It's great for Android dev and helps you manage a lot of the problems.
