Hello! I have a Kotlin Gradle project. If I create a .kts file it works anywhere except the /src/main/kotlin folder. The exception is src/main/kotlin/test.kts: (3, 1): Cannot access script base class 'kotlin.script.templates.standard.ScriptTemplateWithArgs'. Check your module classpath for missing or conflicting dependencies. What is the problem?

I don't understand why you would put a .kts file there, but I'm pretty sure that your problem is related to the fact that sources in src/main/kotlin are compiled in a different context; or rather that .kts files outside of a standard/setup location are compiled in a different context

@ribesg i need some classes and I need some scripts to demonstrate how to use those classes. That's why it would be most convenient to put them together. How do I manege the context the kts files are compiled in?

Did you try running your kotlin script from a terminal?

[voddan]

I assume directly running kotlinc would work because it doesn't care about gradle

[ribesg]

If you don't need to run your script from a terminal, then you don't need a kotlin script

[voddan]

@ribesg well, that's not a very productive discussion, is it? I want a script for demonstration purposes

Found a solution, thanks everybody!
