Hi! I generated Ktor project using generator on ktor.io, then upgraded it to 1.0.0-beta-3 and kotlin 1.3.0, but I cant run the server.

I try this:

$ ./gradlew run

> Task :run FAILED
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Neither port nor sslPort specified. Use command line options -port/-sslPort or configure connectors in application.conf
        at io.ktor.server.engine.CommandLineKt$commandLineEnvironment$environment$1.invoke(CommandLine.kt:121)
        at io.ktor.server.engine.CommandLineKt$commandLineEnvironment$environment$1.invoke(CommandLine.kt)
        at io.ktor.server.engine.ApplicationEngineEnvironmentBuilder.build(ApplicationEngineEnvironment.kt:95)
        at io.ktor.server.engine.ApplicationEngineEnvironmentKt.applicationEngineEnvironment(ApplicationEngineEnvironment.kt:40)
        at io.ktor.server.engine.CommandLineKt.commandLineEnvironment(CommandLine.kt:50)
        at io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain.main(EngineMain.kt:16)

Although I have perfectly valid port in `resources/application.conf`:

ktor {
    deployment {
        port =  8080
    }
    application {
        modules = [ com.example.ApplicationKt.module ]
    }
}

What am I doing wrong?

Uhm, which is the mainClassName in the build.gradle?

[cy]

Also need to ensure that there is application.conf in the result classes/jar

[Deactivated User]

Right now I’m updating stuff to beta-3, so I’ll fix stuff as required. So if you only changed the Ktor version, I’m going to find the issue soon

[dimsuz]

application {
    mainClassName = "io.ktor.server.netty.EngineMain"
}

[dimsuz]

I've used kts files for this one (experimenting)

[dimsuz]

Also need to ensure that there is application.conf in the result classes/jar

How would I check this?

[dimsuz]

Going away for a while, thanks for the help. I may poke around a bit later, I'm trying ktor for the first time, so it's possible I did something stupid

[cy]

Just tried it and there is no application.conf bundled

[cy]

logger conf is is missing as well

[cy]

So it looks like kotlin.sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDirs("resources") is not enough

[Deactivated User]

Uhm. Also I guess that I should do an integration test that actually tries that the hello world allows is listening after running in the generator, because maybe it doesn’t work at all. I’ll check

[Deactivated User]

Or maybe the integration check can just check that it can get the application.conf resource from standard java resources

[dimsuz]

Thanks for trying! Is there something I could do to work around this?

P.S. I had to delete the tar.gz message above because I discovered that I shared a .git along with it, which contains a private url

[Deactivated User]

Well I suggest you to use a normal build.gradle using plain groovy instead of Kotlin DSL until I find the right way to set up the resources folder

[dimsuz]

got it, thanks!

[Deactivated User]

After some tries I have noticed that you cannot (or I was not able to find a way) to specify the resources folder with kotlin DSL when using Gradle 4.7.

I have added a test to verify that resources folder is included correctly in both gradle and gradle with kotlin dsl.

The solution was to use a greater version of gradle and sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDir("resources") instead of kotlin.sourceSets["main"].resources.srcDir("resources")

[dimsuz]

this worked, thank you! I will stick with kts build files then (at least for now)
