Hi @jorge.rego
I would like to run Ktor app on Jetty

[zero_coding]

and would like to know, how to do it.

[zero_coding]

I am using build.gradle.kts and would like to translate the following groovy code into kts:

buildscript {
    ext.gretty_version = '2.0.0'
    repositories {
        jcenter()
    }
    dependencies {
        classpath "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-gradle-plugin:$kotlin_version"
        classpath "org.akhikhl.gretty:gretty:$gretty_version"
    }
}
apply plugin: 'kotlin'
apply plugin: 'war'
apply plugin: 'org.akhikhl.gretty'
webAppDirName = 'webapp'
gretty {
    contextPath = '/'
    logbackConfigFile = 'resources/logback.xml'
}
sourceSets {
    main.kotlin.srcDirs = [ 'src' ]
    main.resources.srcDirs = [ 'resources' ]
}
repositories {
    jcenter()
}
dependencies {
    compile "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8:$kotlin_version"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-server-servlet:$ktor_version"
    compile "io.ktor:ktor-html-builder:$ktor_version"
    compile "ch.qos.logback:logback-classic:$logback_version"
}
kotlin.experimental.coroutines = 'enable'
task run
afterEvaluate {
    run.dependsOn(tasks.findByName("appRun"))
}

the question is how to do it.

[Jorge R]

You are running Ktor as a Java app, so you would need to make a file that should contain a main Java method. Once you do that, IntelliJ will allow you to press play on the left of the method.

In case you just want to translate build.gradle to kts, here you can find a guide. But why dont just use a build.gradle file?
