You may need to set both compileKotlin and compileTestKotlin. This works on gradle 6.5.1.

compileKotlin {
    kotlinOptions {
        languageVersion = "1.2"
        apiVersion = "1.2"
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
        javaParameters = true   // Useful for reflection.
    }
}

compileTestKotlin {
    kotlinOptions {
        languageVersion = "1.2"
        apiVersion = "1.2"
        jvmTarget = "1.8"
        javaParameters = true   // Useful for reflection.
    }
}
