Hi, I'm trying Cloudflare workers with Kotlin but they have a traditional build.gradle that I naturally want to convert to .kts The whole file is https://github.com/cloudflare/kotlin-worker-hello-world/blob/master/build.gradle and it is very basic except one crucial hack that merges a string with a file:

/* Kotlin js output assumes window exists, which it won't on Workers. Hack around it */
(new File("$projectDir/index.js")).text = "const window=this; " + file("$projectDir/build/distributions/${rootProject.name}.js").getText()

How do I write this in build.gradle.kts?

File("$projectDir/index.js").text

Where .text seem to be some kind of extension to the File object that is not available in Kotlin? PS. I don't know why they use kotlin.target.browser and not target.nodejs but maybe it is to get access to org.w3c.* stuff. Thanks!

file.text

=>

file.readText()

file.text = "some"

=>

file.writeText("some")

Thanks a lot @eskatos, seems obvious in hindsight but I really had googled 🙂

It actually looks as wrong config, not clear why they do target browser,

kotlin.target.browser

it probably should be

kotlin.target.nodejs

) So it will not require any hacks

I will give it a try later!
