Hello,
I have tried with 2 versions V0.8 and V0.9 of the google formatter plugin.

id 'com.github.sherter.google-java-format' version '0.9'

With both of them I am getting the below error. It seems to be issue with the way path is determined.

Caused by: java.nio.file.InvalidPathException: Illegal char <
