Not working 😞 When I add it this way and on kubernetes in Google Cloud it works fine

tasks {
    named<Jar>("jar") {
        archiveBaseName.set("app")
        manifest {
            attributes["Main-Class"] = "no.nav.sokos.app.ApplicationKt"
            attributes["Class-Path"] =
                configurations.runtimeClasspath.get().joinToString(separator = " ") {
                    it.name
                }.plus("/var/run/secrets/db2license/db2jcc_license_cisuz.jar")
        }
        doLast {
            configurations.runtimeClasspath.get().forEach {
                val fileProvider: Provider<RegularFile> = layout.buildDirectory.file("libs/${it.name}")
                val targetFile = File(fileProvider.get().toString())
                if (!targetFile.exists()) {
                    it.copyTo(targetFile)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

But when run locally on my machine it cant find the file, even if i change the path file is to on my computer path.

Can you check that the command, which IntelliJ IDEA executes, contains the -cp flag with the path of the JAR?

Ah, you mean this?

[mudasar187]

Change to ?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

I mean the command in the Run panel.

this one?

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

Yes

[mudasar187]

no -cp command here

[Aleksei Tirman [JB]]

If I understand the problem correctly, you need configure the IDEA to make the -cp flag added. For more information please read the documentation.
