Previously I built ktor docker images by using the installDist task, but after switching to multiplatform the lib/<projectname>-<version>.jar file has disappeared and running fails with an error:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Neither port nor sslPort specified. Use command line options -port/-sslPort or configure connectors in application.conf

I’ve tried reproducing by using the (CIO) ‘full stack web application’ project generator which basically fails with the same error, since it doesn’t use HOCON:
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.test.fullstack.application.ServerKt

Do you use withJava() dsl on your jvm target?

[Big Chungus]

It's needed for java plugin interop

[Rescribet]

Yes, a withJava() call is present in both projects under kotin { jvm {

[Big Chungus]

Is application.conf present in your resources?

[Rescribet]

In the jvmMain resources, the repro is freshly generated and uses embeddedServer

[Big Chungus]

Which ktor version are you on?

[Rescribet]

2.0.0-beta1 and 1.6.3, with gradles 7+ and kotlin 1.6.10

[Big Chungus]

Can you share your build.gradle.kts?

[Rescribet]

I’ve committed the entire repro project
https://github.com/rescribet/installdist-bug/blob/master/build.gradle.kts

[Big Chungus]

I can't remember why, but I think I couldn't get it to work with mpp as well. Ended up switching to fat jar instead https://github.com/mpetuska/kamp/blob/master/app/build.gradle.kts

[Rescribet]

Ah, I somewhat suspected such a thing. Thank you, I’ll give that a try

[Big Chungus]

I guess it only works with kotlin jvm plugin

@Big Chungus Deployed to staging today. You’re a hero 👍

[Big Chungus]

Exciting!
