Hello, good day to all of you good people. Question: Is there a way to configure multiplatform gradle plugin's jvmRun task and set the main class (see error in forwarded message) Thanks a bunch!

Alternatively to the API you found, you could also set project property or system property

mainClass

, or

jvmRun.mainClass

.

Hi. Thanks for the reply, how do I do the first one? Can I set

mainClass

directly somewhere? I’m already doing the latter part (see my reply in the message I forwarded).

No, you are not

Ohh. That’s a nice info. A cool usecase would be to set main class differently. Would you kindly point a reference to this? Is this mentioned somewhere in the docs (the fact that you can set mainClass via project or system property)? May I know other options I can set in the system/project properties too?

I looked at the source code

haha of course! I’ll get used to reading the source code someday. By source code, you mean the multiplatform plugin source code?

Just add the

application

plugin: https://gitlab.com/opensavvy/notes/kotlin-fullstack/-/blob/main/app-cli/build.gradle.kts?ref_type=heads#L35 (notice the

jvm { withJava() }

, it's important for the application plugin to work)

Hi. Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to add the application plugin. I'm wondering for its need to be added because It seems multiplatform plugin already has a jvmRun task.

Is it new? I don't remember using it. I can't find any documentation about it other than the original issue (but there's no explanation of how it's supposed to be used)

Yes, new in 1.9.20

Well, that test answers your question; the configuration is

kotlin {
    jvm {
        mainRun {
            mainClass.set("…")
        }
    }
}

Yes, he found out already within his mentioned thread in #multiplatform in the original post here. And alternatively you can use the two properties I mentioned and both either as system property or project property.

Thanks a lot for accommodating! Kotlin is awesome!
