I know it's not necessary to run the app since the previous steps are working fine

Can you show your application.conf file?

[kagomez]

ktor {
    deployment {
        port = 8080
    }

    application {
        modules = [ blog.BlogAppKt.main ]
    }
}

ext.ktor_version = ‘0.9.1’ -> ext.ktor_version = ‘0.9.2’ ?

[kagomez]

0.9.1

[Deactivated User]

uhm why are you using implementation in dependencies?

[Deactivated User]

instead of compile?

[kagomez]

since the gradle version is > 3.0 and it's a single gradle module

[kagomez]

let me try changing to compile and see if that works

[Deactivated User]

I don’t know but it is usually safer to follow the exact steps at least to get it working initially (or use a sample as an entry point), then you can mutate small things

[kagomez]

still not working

[kagomez]

in that part of the documentation I don't see a github repo sample 🤔

[Deactivated User]

git-clone this repo: https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-samples/

and run ./gradlew :netty-embedded:run
also gradle :netty-embedded:run (to see if there is a problem with your global gradle distro)

[kagomez]

https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-samples/blob/master/deployment/netty-embedded/src/Main.kt this one right?

[Deactivated User]

Still it is strange that you have an error with Top-level function 'main' not found in package 'io.ktor.server.netty' while having blog.BlogAppKt.main in your application.conf

[Deactivated User]

that Main requires this https://github.com/ktorio/ktor-samples/blob/master/deployment/netty-embedded/resources/application.conf

[Deactivated User]

check that your kt file has the right package and recheck your application.conf in the resources folder

[kagomez]

just a question

[kagomez]

Then we delete the main function from BlogApp.kt and change fun Application.module() to fun Application.main(). the docs mention this

you can also build a simple project with this tool: https://soywiz.github.io/start-ktor-io-proposal/

[kagomez]

o nvm

[kagomez]

cool thanks I will reply if anything changes

[kagomez]

what are you supposed to run on the generated project?

[kagomez]

nvm gradlew run is the one

[kagomez]

so new thing... No configuration setting found for key 'ktor'

[kagomez]

and I got it working now

[kagomez]

seems like that guide may be outdated

[kagomez]

the last steps are removing the resource folder inside main folder and put it in the same level

[kagomez]

in that case it will find the configuration
