Question, the docs about configuration for a file state: "If you use EngineMain to start a server, Ktor loads configuration settings automatically from a file named application.* located in the resources directory."

However, doesn't it just search the classpath? Putting them in the module root also works (or the current working directory). Separating configurations from the resources directory makes deployment easier since it separates configuration from the actual JAR.

You're right. It just looks up the classpath.
