# scripting

[Zyle Moore]

I'm trying to make a custom script type, I'm running into some IDE issues, but maybe those are expected? I'm trying to add a .kanon.kts script type. I'm able to run the script from a Run Configuration with the host project I made, but the IDE just shows red for the specific pieces of my DSL. So my ask is really, is there syntax support for this in the IDE?

What I have:
• kanon-script-definition Gradle Project
◦ KanonScriptDefinition
▪︎ fileExtension = "kanon.kts"
▪︎ compilationConfiguration
• defaultImports "games.studiohummingbird.kanon.*"
• jvm dependenciesFromCurrentContext(wholeClasspath = true)
• ide acceptedLocations Everywhere
◦ META-INF.kotlin.script.templates folder
▪︎ KanonScriptDefinition.classname (empty file)
◦ build.gradle.kts
▪︎ JVM plugin
▪︎ implementation dependencies
• kotlin-scripting-common
• kotlin-scripting-jvm
• kotlin-scripting-compiler-embeddable
• kanon-script-host Gradle Project
◦ BasicJvmScriptingHost
◦ createJvmCompilationConfigurationFromTemplateKanonScriptDefinition
• IntelliJ IDEA 2025.3.2
◦ Kotlin Scripting
▪︎ KanonScriptDefinition =>.kanon.kts
• needed to add the .classname file to even get this to show up

I pulled down the example script repo from github, and the .main.kts files seem to have correct syntax highlighting, but the .scriptwithdeps.kts files also seem to be red
