How do I run a kotlin multiplatform module from the command line on the JVM?

My module “app” applies both multiplatform and application plugins.  I’m imagining something like:

./gradlew :app:run --args="..." but when I do that I get Error: Could not find or load main class .  I have a main class set in app/build.gradle but it looks like I’m missing something. I found one thread from about a year ago, but it doesn’t seem to have really made it clear what’s the right solution.

You might need to add withJava() to your jvm target block to make the application plugin see it. https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html#java-support-in-jvm-targets

That solved it. Thank you! This type of thing is really difficult to Google for 😅.
