The -script option is still not working on M4

1

Little disappointed that this issue is not resolve for M4

http://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/KT-3045

It a useful great tool to let beginner to play with Kotlin. Not sure why priority is not in it. Shipping a broken “-script” option is not a good thing to let people to see, especially if they first time playing with it. If not ready, I would even recommend not to show it in help page.

The -script option doesn't seem to be broken. This works fine for me:

``

bin/kotlinc-jvm -script foo.ktscript

The exception in the report is a bad diagnostics on broke command line syntax, no more than that.

HI Andrey,

I tried with M4 and it’s still now working for me. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Changing the file extension to .ktscript should help

Ah ha! Now that's a tricky requirement. Perhaps it should be a hint on the -help page? I would never guess that out.

Thanks Andrey. I will try out more on this -script feature now that I get it to work. :slight_smile:
