Hello, does anybody have an example of Gradle script with Kotlin DSL (build.gradle.kts) where I can input custom arguments when running?

Actually, as I understand, I need to define new task that can take command-line input and invoke the main.

Are you talking about kotlinc or about Gradle tasks?

[Erdem Tuna]

My task is indeed, running my project in a container with different input parameters. I thought I need to create a new task in build.gradle.kts and pass the parameters to it. That's why I asked this question indeed. If you have any recommendations, I appreciate it.

I think you just want to apply the application plugin: https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/application_plugin.html#header

Assuming you're talking about invoking your kotlin code with runtime command line arguments, not a gradle task

There's also --args now, which doesn't require creating a new Gradle task.
