How do I configure the working directory of the run carrier task mentioned in <https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-25644/KGP-import-KotlinRunConfiguration-wont-be-able-to-infer-correct-runtime-classpath#focus=Comments-27-7408127.0-0|https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KTIJ-25644/KGP-import-KotlinRunConfiguration-wont-be-able-to-infer-correct-runtime-classpath#focus=C[…]8127.0-0> ?

What does the IDE say the type is in that closure?

Seems to be `KotlinJvmRunDsl` which only allows to configure main class, arguments and classpath, so probably not from there. But you can probably directly configure the carrier task like
```val jvmRun by tasks.existing(JavaExec::class) {
    workingDir = ...
}```

That gives me `Task with name 'jvmRun' not found in project`

I placed it in an `afterEvaluate {}` inside `jvm().mainRun{ }` and that seems to do the job

`afterEvaluate` is evil, don't use it if avoidable. It's main effect is introducing timing problems, ordering problems, and race conditions, while usually just doing symptom treatment.
```tasks.withType&lt;JavaExec&gt;().matching { it.name == "jvmRun" }.configureEach { workingDir = ... }```
