Since 1.4.20 IntelliJ no longer detects Kotlin run configurations as "running" when using Gradle. When debugging, it shows two process tabs for each running one, one of which never has any console output.
Is this an issue on my end?

1) Can you please clarify what do you mean by "running"?

2) Two process tabs should be fixed in IDEA 2020.3, but Kotlin 1.4.20 is not yet released for 203 platform.

By "running" I mean that the IDE shows the configuration as active by marking the "Start" and "Debug" icons. The "Allow parallel run" checkbox is also not functioning: It is not checked, yet the IDE allows me to run multiple instances of the run configuration.

Here is an example of what an "active" configuration (one that is currently running) looks like:

Here is how it looks when I start a "Kotlin" run configuration:

I have the same issue 😞

Using IntelliJ 2020.2, this started to happen with Kotlin 1.4.20

Thank you, I will explore. By the way, we changed Gradle run configurations in 1.4.20: now it actually creates a Gradle run configuration, not IDEA one. So yes, regressions are likely.

[diesieben07]

That is definitely what it looks like. Thanks for taking a look

This also happened to me, and I haven't upgraded to Kotlin 1.4 yet.

A little status update: we will revert the change in Kotlin plugin 1.4.21: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-43693. Meanwhile, our testers will test the Gradle runner and maybe we can fix these problems in some future release.

Hi @Alexey Belkov [JB], do you know when kotlin plugin 1.4.20 will be relased for 2020.3? It was a little bit confusing because the release notes of kotlin 1.4.20 are already mentioning the 1.4.20 plugin 😃

[Alexey Belkov [JB]]

It should be already available, try EAP channel in IDE plugin updates dialog. And don't ask why it's in EAP channel - it's for technical reasons 🤷
