Whenever I try to readln() I get Exception in thread "main" kotlin.io.ReadAfterEOFException: EOF has already been reached
Running the app via gradle, any ideas why it's happening?

[Joffrey]

Probably the stdin of the Gradle process is not forwarded to your app by default

You can try something like:

tasks.named<JavaExec>("run") {
    standardInput = System.`in`
}

Works like a charm!
