A modern programming language that makes developers happier.

I’ve been hacking away with attempts like `sourceSets.main.kotlin.srcDirs = ['src']` but even that doesn’t seem to do it

When you are about to start a Gradle project, `cd` into the project's directory and do `gradle init`.

That will provide you with some structure right away and some other files you are going to need, like the Gradle wrapper. Then execute Gradle commands with the same: `./gradlew run`, or `./gradlew clean assemble`...depending on the task(s) you have available

One of the reasons you need to redefine the `sourceSets` is because you are not using the default/standard structure. You can go either way, but I would prefer to have that. Something like:

```.
├── build.gradle
├── gradle
│   └── wrapper
│       ├── gradle-wrapper.jar
│       └── gradle-wrapper.properties
├── gradle.properties
├── gradlew
├── gradlew.bat
├── README.asciidoc
├── settings.gradle
└── src
    ├── main
    │   ├── kotlin
    │   │   └── io
    │   │       └── shido
    │   │           ├── Application.kt
    │   │           ├── core
    │   │           │   ├── handler
    │   │           │   │   ├── AuthRequestHandler.kt
    │   │           │   │   └── UserRequestHandler.kt
    │   │           │   └── verticle
    │   │           │       ├── AuthVerticle.kt
    │   │           │       ├── HttpServerVerticle.kt
    │   │           └── domain
    │   │               └── KeyCard.kt
    │   └── resources
    │       ├── cluster.xml
    │       ├── config.json
    │       ├── logback.xml
    │       ├── server-cert.pem
    │       ├── server-key.pem
    │       └── ValidationMessages.properties
    └── test
        ├── kotlin
        │   └── io
        │       └── shido
        │           └── domain
        │               └── KeyCardTest.kt
        └── resources
            └── logback-test.xml
```

Found the problem, I was told the main class name was based on the file name hence i mapped `hello.kt` to `helloKt` … turns out the right mapping was `HelloKt`

Thanks <@U5RAC8PAQ> I had already guessed there might be a `gradle init` but the source I started with gave me a supposedly working `build.gradle` so I didn’t backtrack that far. I will certainly play with it, thanks.

My fault on the name mapping, sorry about that. Glad you found the issue!

Its pretty idomatic in Java/Kotlin that your file names are capitalized... and if you had done so the mapping from `Hello.kt` to `HelloKt` would have been clear...

<@U0NT624JZ> No probs … I discovered the right mapping when I un-tarred the jar file … the contained files all used `HelloKt`
