Finally found the solution:

For some reason when creating gradle project or module Idea does not add automatically the java-gradle facet.

In order to get the errors in the Message Tool window you will have to add it to your module(s) like this:

File -> Project structure -> Facets

Click on the plus sign, select Java-gradle, select module, OK.

Please note that if you start the build from the Gradle tool window (the right side pane) errors will not be shown in the Message window. You will have to use the "normal" build in the IDE, e.g. Build -> Compile module.
