what would i need to do to a kotlin/js build.gradle.kts to also allow running on the jvm as a desktop app?

[andylamax]

do you mean in node?

[Jonathan Ellis]

no, I mean in kotlin/jvm

[andylamax]

it is kind of illogical trying to run a kotlin/js app woth kotlin/jvm. Don't you think??

Unless you are looking for a kotlin multiplatfrom approach, to run the same code on different environments

[Jonathan Ellis]

that is what I am looking for. in particular, the debugging experience on complex js projects is mostly broken, I'd like to debug on jvm first

[andylamax]

That is very possible. Infact it is what I am doing. Write your tests on commonTest and with the gutter icon on IDEA on your test, you can choose to debug on jvm

[Jonathan Ellis]

Is there an example of how to do this somewhere? I tried

plugins {
    kotlin("js") version "1.6.21"
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.6.21"
}

and got back

> Failed to apply plugin 'org.jetbrains.kotlin.jvm'.
> Cannot add extension with name 'kotlin', as there is an extension already registered with that name.

Start here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/multiplatform.html

[Jonathan Ellis]

@rnett that is where I started, but none of the scenarios there describe what I'm trying to do, and none of the examples seem relevant

[andylamax]

For starters, apply the kotlin/multiplatform plugin, instead of applying the kotlin/js and kotlin/jvm plugin

Secondly, make sure you have both, a jvm target and a js target

Thirdly
Put all your tests in commonTest

Finally
You can run those test in any environment

TY!
