Wanted to be able to directly run my jvm target in my Multiplatform setup.
Using the following kotlin gradle script i'm trying to launch the Application.kt file placed inside my package called `box`:

tasks.create("run", JavaExec::class) {
    dependsOn("jvmMainClasses", "jvmJar")
    main = "box.ApplicationKt"
    classpath = files(
        kotlin.targets["jvm"].compilations["main"].output.allOutputs.files,
        configurations["jvmRuntimeClasspath"]
    )
    args = listOf()
}

However, this results in : Error: Could not find or load main class box.ApplicationKt Anyone have any pointers to run a jvm target?

[JoakimForslund]

Added Application.kt to the commonMain, and it seems to find that, but still not the jvmMain Application.kt

[JoakimForslund]

Changed to kotlin.targets["jvm"].compilations["main"].output.allOutputs and now it seem to work

[JoakimForslund]

oh well xD

Are you sure that you need those custom configs? Maybe standard Gradle Application plugin will work (but not sure, because it’s MPP)

[JoakimForslund]

I'd rather have it defined manually for now, but I see it has been suggested before, So i'll try it if this poc comes out of poc phase 😛

You already use it, JavaExec is part of Application plugin, if you apply it it provides preconfigured task (just specify main class name)
