# scripting

Wanted to get a sense of people if they are using k-script in CI and if there had been any gotchas or pain-points as compared to shell scripting or python-scripting, when to comes to debugging and other factors.

Do you mean https://github.com/kscripting/kscript, or just Kotlin scripting in general or something else due to the hyphen? 😄

Ah, or this one which actually is "k-script": https://medium.com/@bladekotelly/k-scripts-the-fastest-and-most-flexible-way-to-articulate-a-user-experience-97264d9c4786 😄

😆 It's https://github.com/kscripting/kscript

Then no, never used it, but always .main.kts instead. 🙂

Yeah, the only issue I see or noticed with kscript, it being experimental in nature, gives a sense of confusion when it comes to debugging on CI, given the caching issue or it being unstable or experimental in nature.

I do believe kotlin scripting has a long way to go.. when it comes to CI scripts, as compared to shell scripts or python or anything else...

[ritesh]

And i definitely didn't know something like k-script existed.. thank you.

I've used kscript in the past, but lately I just use .main.kts , it's essentially the same, and kscript had issues with some Maven dependencies for a while
