Run kotlin script with command line

benjamin.kuchcik · June 1, 2022, 2:40pm

Hi all,

I found a really useful tutorial to use kotlin script with maven dependencies. That’s awesome to be able to use kotlin dependencies in a script.

But now, I’d like to use command line to execute my custom script and I don’t see how to do it in a clean way.

The tutorial is at this adress: Get started with Kotlin custom scripting – tutorial | Kotlin

Could you help me please?

Most of information about scripting is here: KEEP/scripting-support.md at master · Kotlin/KEEP · GitHub

Some examples are here:

# Kotlin Scripting Examples: `kotlin-main-kts` usages

Scripts demonstrating the usage of the `kotlin-main-kts` script definition jar, distributed with the Kotlin compiler
and the IntelliJ plugin.

*See also [simplified implementation in this repository](../simple-main-kts/SimpleMainKts.md)*

## Description
 
The purpose of the `main-kts` is to allow writing simple but extendable  utility scripts for the usage in the command 
line, replacing the simple Kotlin programs with `main` function (hence the `main` in its name).

### Usage

For example a script (note that the file should have an extension corresponding to the script definition, in this case 
`.main.kts`):

```kotlin
println("Hello, ${args[0]}")

I would recommend using KI or jupyter-kernel for more smooth experience.
