is entering the command

gradlew run

in CLI same as clicking the

run

button in Intellij?

Depends on your IntelliJ run configuration 😄

This is not really Kotlin-related. But to answer your question, not in general. The run button in IDEA runs the "run configuration" that is selected next to it. You can create a run configuration that runs Gradle's

run

task, though, in which case it will be the same. The configuration can be auto-created if you run Gradle from the Gradle tool window (by double-clicking on one of the tasks on the side)

ok 👌
