Is intelij supposed to understand the experimental command-line parameters? I added

kotlinOptions.freeCompilerArgs += "-Xuse-experimental=kotlin.contracts.ExperimentalContracts"`

To my build.gradle, and ./gradlew build compiles fine. Intelij still gives errors when actually trying to run code using contracts:

Error:(552, 5) Kotlin: This declaration is experimental and its usage must be marked with '@kotlin.contracts.ExperimentalContracts' or '@UseExperimental(kotlin.contracts.ExperimentalContracts::class)'

Intelij seems to at least understand that it's a compiler argument, it automatically ends up in Project settings > Modules > main > Kotlin > Additional cmdline parameters. Is this just not supported right now or there another problem?

It should work. Failed to reproduce with a simple Gradle project (Kotlin 1.3.50 + IC-192.7142.36).

By the format of the error message I see that you're building the project with internal IDEA build system, so the build is not delegated to Gradle in "File | Settings | Build, Execution, Deployment | Build Tools | Gradle". Is that on purpose? Anyway, failed to reproduce also with IDEA build after syncing the project with Gradle.

Please file an issue at http://kotl.in/issue with a sample project to reproduce. Thanks!

I'll get started on a sample project, now that I know it's supposed to work.
Yes it's intentionally build with IDEA, I know gradle works but now I wanted IDEA to work too.
