var myVariable : String? = null

fun main(args: Array<String>): Unit {
    myVariable = "Hello World"
    io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain.main(args)
}

@Suppress("unused") // Referenced in application.conf
@kotlin.jvm.JvmOverloads
fun Application.module(testing: Boolean = false) {
    // myVariable is null here
}

Module is loaded in its own class loader

You have to pass it in via the config

[olfek]

Thank you @spand
How do I do that?

[spand]

We use an https://ktor.io/docs/configurations.html#embedded-server and it takes a Config

[olfek]

but if I do that, I lose all of the config specified in application.conf including development = true for hot reload
