When I’m using gradle run, readlnOrNull immediately returns null without reading any input. How to fix it?

[Sam]

Does running with --no-daemon fix the problem?

[Sam]

Actually I doubt that it will, since --no-daemon actually still uses a daemon (just a single-use one) these days

that, or just don't use console from gradle tasks at all. https://github.com/gradle/gradle/issues/1251

Add this to your build.gradle.kts:

tasks.run.configure {
    standardInput = System.`in`
}
