Are native Kotlin platforms supported in IntelliJ? When I try to debug failing tests on the native platform, IntelliJ runs them via Gradle and then debugs Gradle itself, not the native code it’s running. Do I need to install CLion to work on Kotlin Native at the moment?

Code completion works in IDEA, for debugging CLion could be better approach.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work. The Kotlin/Native plugin crashes on loading the project, and CLion identifies the Kotlin test source as Python, and tries to run them in a Python interpreter. I’ve submitted crash reports from the IDE.

Do you use proper Kotlin IDE plugin and MPP gradle DSL? See https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/10454-kotlin-native-for-clion/update/58453 and https://kotlinlang.org/docs/reference/building-mpp-with-gradle.html

That’s the plugin version I’m using.

On loading the project, I get the errors:

Invalid Gradle JDK configuration found. Open Gradle Settings 
Project JDK is not specified. Open Project SDK Configuration

I cannot find an option to set the Project JDK in CLion

I wiped the .idea directory and reloaded the gradle file as a brand new project. I no longer get errors about the Project JDK.

However, CLion still thinks the native Kotlin tests are Python code

Should I use AppCode and not CLion?

not at the moment, better report CLion bug with reproducer, it usually known to work
