Hi guys sb know how to run/debug a k/Native project, my intellij idea doesn't show run button in from of main function.

[Animesh Sahu]

I am on win10 x64_64

Are you using Gradle?

[Animesh Sahu]

Yes

[Animesh Sahu]

Atarted a new project Kotlin->Native/Gradle

[napperley]

In that case you will need to create a new Run Configuration that uses Gradle as the type.

[Animesh Sahu]

Ohh

[Animesh Sahu]

But it doesn't show up main() as usable entrypoint

[Animesh Sahu]

Gradle as a type🙄

An example of a Run Configuration for a Kotlin Native project in IntelliJ.

With the Tasks field Gradle task completion is available (use Ctrl+Spacebar), however you will need to make sure that the Gradle build script has been setup properly.

Btw do i need mingw too? Because it seems that for windows it targets mingw64

[napperley]

You will need to include the binaries block in your Gradle build file, eg:

// ...
kotlin {
    linuxX64 {
        compilations.getByName("main") {
            cinterops.create("curl")
        }
        binaries {
            executable("battery_metrics_updater") {
                entryPoint = "com.chapman.batteryMetricsUpdater.main"
                runTask?.args(*programArgs)
            }
        }
    }
// ...
}
// ...

Thanks!

they need to make that experience much easier, you can't come as a new language and offer such a confusing way to get started

[Animesh Sahu]

@sksk i mean like k/n is still is an experimental language, so its a temporary problem. K/JVM is actually pretty easy since stable right now!

[Animesh Sahu]

Don't worry, Kotlin is a revolutionary language and it'll take some time since it is being developed to be supported for multiple devices
