I could really use some help, I don't understand why main runtime dependency is returning a config while the test runtime dependancy is, correctly, producing a file collection..... oddly enough this task doesnt run unless the classpath is set to the test one which makes no sense!

I would suggest using code navigation to explore the plugin source

[Gunslingor]

Is there a way to do that in intelliJ since the plugin is just a string ?

kotlin("multiplatform") version "1.3.70"

This seems to be it

Cmd (Cntrl) + left click

[Gunslingor]

yeah, doesnt usually work on libraries defined by strings and thats what gradle uses

[Gunslingor]

I was able to go into it a bit using functions later down and learned a little, but its pretty tough to interpret

[Kris Wong]

you can literally click on the property you're asking about, runtimeDependencyFiles

[Gunslingor]

yes I know, sorry... it just doesn't tell me anything. This really makes no sense why test would work but main wouldn't... almost like they are backwords

[Gunslingor]

I could zip it up and send it to you its tiny, just the beginnings of new project, trying to setup structure

[Gunslingor]

Sorry man, just been working on this rediculousness for like 19 hours my brain hurts

[Gunslingor]

Does this mean anything to you, when it should be working I'm getting this

Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: kotlin.jvm.internal.Intrinsics

[Kris Wong]

not to me

I figured it out I guess, just by jiggling it I guess. I had tried this before but was getting error on main = ""... I changed it to setMain and it magically worked. Still though I feel like there is another way to create a task outside of the jvm() object based on the docs, but I don't really get it... that was painful, thanks for the emotional support 😃

jvm("backend") {
    compilations {
        val main by getting

        val runApplication by compilations.creating {
            tasks.register<JavaExec>("runApplication") {
                group = "fl"
                setMain("com.company.ApplicationKt")
                classpath = main.compileDependencyFiles + main.output.classesDirs + output.allOutputs
            }
        }
    }
}
