touch: build/target/third_party_licenses/skip: No such file or directory

When I run ./gradlew :sdks:python:test-suites:portable:py2:crossLanguageTests, I get the following error:

> Task :sdks:java:container:createFile FAILED
touch: build/target/third_party_licenses/skip: No such file or directory

When I do `ls build`, the only thing it outputs is `gradleenv`. So it looks like it's assuming the directory exists, when it might not.
