The `runPluginVerifier` is not found in my root after upgrading to the latest version of `intelliJPlatform:2.1.0`

```auto
$ ./gradlew runPluginVerifier
       
Calculating task graph as no cached configuration is available for tasks: runPluginVerifier

Here is my `libs.versions.toml`

```auto
[versions]
# libraries
junit = "4.13.2"

# plugins
changelog = "2.2.1"
intelliJPlatform = "2.1.0"
kotlin = "2.1.0"
kover = "0.8.3"
qodana = "2024.2.3"

[libraries]
junit = { group = "junit", name = "junit", version.ref = "junit" }

[plugins]
changelog = { id = "org.jetbrains.changelog", version.ref = "changelog" }
intelliJPlatform = { id = "org.jetbrains.intellij.platform", version.ref = "intelliJPlatform" }
kotlin = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm", version.ref = "kotlin" }
kover = { id = "org.jetbrains.kotlinx.kover", version.ref = "kover" }
qodana = { id = "org.jetbrains.qodana", version.ref = "qodana" }

```

Here is what I have tried so far:

1. Unlinked and relinked the gradle project
2. refreshed the gradle project
3. Deleted `.gradle` and `.intellijplatform` folders and re-imported the gradle.

But nothing seems to be working. Any help is much appreciated! thanks!

The task is called `verifyPlugin` for 2.x, see [Verifying Plugin Compatibility | IntelliJ Platform Plugin SDK](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/docs/intellij/verifying-plugin-compatibility.html#using-with-gradle)

Thanks @yann.cebron. That was it. Looks like the **Run Configuration** was still caching the tasks from previous version.
