Anyone know how to pass command line arguments to ...

# javascript

[patrickdelconte]

Anyone know how to pass command line arguments to my kotlin node application?
I had no luck with either ./gradlew run myargs or ./gradlew run --args='myargs'

Cant you just build it and run as normal eith node?

[patrickdelconte]

you mean by calling node an supplying the path to the js file? I tried but path to the dependencies was wrong

[Big Chungus]

Do you have any npm dependencies? Did you call node on kompiler output or webpack output?

[Big Chungus]

You either need to provide node_modules or use webpack output

[patrickdelconte]

I called node on the compiler output

[Big Chungus]

See the above

[patrickdelconte]

how would I go about using the webpack output? I did not see the folder

[Big Chungus]

Run gradlew build and look for build/distributions

[patrickdelconte]

there is no such folder

[Big Chungus]

Not sure if it's being generated for node projects

[Big Chungus]

I see

[Big Chungus]

Then you can add my https://gitlab.com/lt.petuska/npm-publish plugin and run gradlew assemble.

[Big Chungus]

Then look for build/publications/xxx and run npm install there. Afterwards you should be able to run node mymodule.js from that dir

[Big Chungus]

Hope that makes sense

[Big Chungus]

Let me know how it goes

[patrickdelconte]

I figured out a way without the plugin

[Big Chungus]

Mind sharing it?

[patrickdelconte]

in build/js/packages/mymodule there is a package.json, it should be the root directory for node. The package.json contains the path to the entrypoint in the main property (as it should). If "main": "kotlin/example.js" the whole thing becomes
node build/js/packages/mymodule kotlin/example.js arg1 arg2

[patrickdelconte]

maybe there is a way to tell node to run whatever is in the package.json, but I am not sure how and a quick search yielded no results. The above works fine for what I need
