I'm build a kotlin library and when I run build with `./gradlew build`, it creates the jar file, but...

# build-tools

I'm build a kotlin library and when I run build with ./gradlew build, it creates the jar file, but not when I use Build Project or Build Module in Intellij. How do I get those commands to have the same output?

you can approach this from multiple directions. some options would be :
• run the gradle build/jar task via intellij instead of doing Build Project
• configure the Build project target to have the jar output artifacts (see intellij build/run settings)
• delegate building of the project from intellij to gradle, and make the default target build jar
• or if you don’t care about jar and only care about sameness - you can change your build.gradle to not produce jar by default

Option three is the one I think I want, but how do I do that? I've checked that box in Settings | Build... | Build tools | Gradle | Runner, but unfortunately that doesn't seem to have done the job. 😞

Oh wait, maybe it's the "make the default target build jar" that I'm missing. Where do I set that?

Did you enable “Delegate IDE build/run actions to Gradle”?
