Error:Unable to find method 'com.android.build.gradle.api.BaseVariant.getOutputs()Ljava/util/List;'.

今天在集成Butterknife的时候出现的如下问题：

Error:Unable to find method 'com.android.build.gradle.api.BaseVariant.getOutputs()Ljava/util/List;'.
Possible causes for this unexpected error include:<ul><li>Gradle's dependency cache may be corrupt (this sometimes occurs after a network connection timeout.)
<a href="syncProject">Re-download dependencies and sync project (requires network)</a></li><li>The state of a Gradle build process (daemon) may be corrupt. Stopping all Gradle daemons may solve this problem.
<a href="stopGradleDaemons">Stop Gradle build processes (requires restart)</a></li><li>Your project may be using a third-party plugin which is not compatible with the other plugins in the project or the version of Gradle requested by the project.</li></ul>In the case of corrupt Gradle processes, you can also try closing the IDE and then killing all Java processes.

按提示的两个方案都试过了依然没有能够解决问题，这是因为butterknife与androidstudio3.0冲突的原因，解决办法就是将所有butterknife的版本降至8.4.0。

compile 'com.jakewharton:butterknife:8.8.1'
annotationProcessor 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-compiler:8.8.1'

dependencies {
    classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0'
    classpath 'com.jakewharton:butterknife-gradle-plugin:8.8.1'

    // NOTE: Do not place your application dependencies here; they belong
    // in the individual module build.gradle files
}

将版本降至8.4.0然后try again。
