Can’t run kotlin file in IDEA and can’t beat that error.
Unfortunately we can’t help you if you don’t provide any information about the details of your problem. How do I ask a good question? - Help Center - Stack Overflow is a great introduction to asking technical questions in a way that makes it easy for others to answer them.
- Download and install IntelliJ IDEA
- Create any Kotlin file with “fun main(args: Array)” method
- Run it and you’ll figure that error.
As you can imagine, I’ve done this quite a few times and I haven’t seen the error. Could you please attach a screenshot, at least?
Create new project:
Create java class:
Convert it to Kotlin:
Run the file:
Got an error:
Open dialog “run/debug configuration”, figure JUnit test:
Remove it, save dialog:
second run, same error, JUnit test self-restore, like never deleted:

Looks like Idea thinks this is a JUnit test because the class name ends with “Test”. You should probably avoid that.

There is indeed a long-standing bug in IntelliJ IDEA that causes the class to be incorrectly detected as a JUnit test in this scenario. The name of the class doesn’t matter. We’ll fix the bug in a future update. To run your code, instead of right-clicking the editor tab, right-click the “main” method and select “Run”, or use the gutter icon to run it.

excellent - thx!!!
took me a bit to figure that out
I know this is a very old topic, but I just wanted to say that it appears the name is actually very much making a difference. My test was called AppNameTest before and I renamed it to SomeThingInstrumentedTest, and it immediately moved it under Android Instrumented Tests group in config, and I stopped having the JUnit version error.
