I'm trying to run a Macos application built from KMP. I'm trying the task runReleaseExecutableMacosX64 because that matches the pattern that the other targets use, but it isn't found. Is there a different way to do this for Mac targets?

[Jeff Lockhart]

Is your macOS source set called macosX64Main? I would expect that to be the run task if so. I have a native app that creates the host system's platform as the native source set named nativeMain and the run task is runReleaseExecutableNative.

[eygraber]

Interesting I just have a nativeMain source set so I'll try that

[eygraber]

No task with that name 🤔

[Jeff Lockhart]

Under the run group, I have two tasks: runDebugExecutableNative and runReleaseExecutableNative.

[eygraber]

Hmm I don't see those

[Jeff Lockhart]

Have you configured the native target's binary executable? E.g.:

macosX64("native") {
    binaries.executable {
        entryPoint = "main"
    }
}

[eygraber]

I didn't specify the entry point but I did binaries.executable which works on Linux and mingw

Does anything relevant show up when you run :tasks --all ?

[Jeff Lockhart]

You can access the run tasks with the runTask property. E.g.:

macosX64("native") {
    binaries.executable {
        println("run task name = ${runTask?.name}")
    }
}

For me, this prints out those two task names. It looks like runTask is null if the target is not the host system, so it's not runnable. I assume you're using an x64 Mac and not Arm64?

[eygraber]

@chr not for Macos

@Jeff Lockhart I tried running the task on both. I'll try runTask?.name and see what I get

[eygraber]

Sorry nothing to see here, just your average run of the mill idiot 🙈
