Trouble running helloworld using IntelliJ plugin

1

Hi.  

I thought I followed Hadi’s blog

http://hadihariri.com/2012/02/17/the-kotlin-journey-part-i-getting-things-set-up/

to the letter in getting helloworld to run, but I’m having problems.  No matter what I do, I cannot seem to find the menu entry that shows “Run namespace” so I can run the app.

Here is my Kotlin file:

import java.util.ArrayList

fun main(args : ArrayList<String>) : Unit {
  print(“hello ${args[0]}”)
}

Attached is a screenshot showing my options when I bring up the menu in the editor.

I’m using EAP 114.145 11.1 and plugin version kotlin-plugin-0.1.1358.zip.

Can someone suggest what I may be doing wrong?  I’ve spent an hour trying to figure this out, but to no avail.

Thank you kindly.

Try to declare some package at the beginning of source file, maybe it helps.

I tried this:

package foo

import java.util.ArrayList

fun main(args : ArrayList<String>) : Unit {
  print(“hello ${args[0]}”)
}

but it still produces no “Run namespace” in the popup.

Hi!

Try using Array<String> instead of ArrayList<String>. :slight_smile:

Oh, my.  That was it.  Thank you!

Chagrined,

Incidentally, for those of you reading along now or later, to run this code from the command line, do

$  java -cp lib/kotlin-runtime.jar:out/production/kotlin-lab foo.namespace
