What magic happens when IntelliJ compiles my Kotlin project? - kotlin

I currently know that kotlinc hello.kt -include-runtime -d hello.jar compiles my hello world program written in kotlin. Furthermore I am able to execute my program via java -jar hello.jar.
Setting up a Kotlin "Hello world!" console application example in IntelliJ I may choose between different Build Systems (Maven, Gradle, IntelliJ).
I would like to know what happens in the background using the IntelliJ Build System for example?
It seems that there is an ant script running considering the Build Output:
Executing pre-compile tasks…
Loading Ant configuration...
Running Ant tasks...
Running 'before' tasks

Kotlin: connecting to daemon

Executing post-compile tasks…

Synchronizing output directories…
04.01.22, 07:59 - Build completed successfully in 6 sec, 686 ms
Can someone help me out and direct me to the right place to look?
I already tried to find information with several search engines.

Debug Kotlin Symbol Processing (KSP)

How to debug KSP using Idea and Gradle?
Running build task from IDE in debug mode does not attach IDE to the process.
Is there any command-line way to make the processor wait until IDE attach to thte process?
(I'm using KSP 1.5.31-1.0.0)
./gradlew :sample:build --no-daemon -Dorg.gradle.debug=true -Dkotlin.compiler.execution.strategy=in-process
If debugging without daemon is too slow (it has to start jvm everytime), ./gradlew -Dkotlin.daemon.jvm.options="-Xdebug,-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket\,address=8765\,server=y\,suspend=n" ... and attach to the KotlinCompileDaemon process in the debugger.

After building a Kotlin program in IntelliJ, how do I execute it directly from the terminal? [duplicate]

I have installed IntelliJ IDEA on my mac and wrote the simplest Kotlin program
fun main(args : Array<String>){
println("Hello")
}
I can run it from the IDE environment. (It prints Hello of course)
My question: How can you run this from the console?
What I have done:
I tried to call
java simplekt.class
but I got
Error: could not find or load main class simplekt.class
I tried java simplekt but then I got an exception in thread main java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError
I tried to use kotlin or kotlinc but the command was not found. (where is the compiler installed?)
In this resource they use kotlinc and they produce a jar file but IDEA only output a class file.
Not really sure how to proceed from here.
When you run your application from the IDE, in the Run window the very first line is the command that the IDE executes to start your program. In my case it's something like:
/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_181.jdk/Contents/Home/bin/java -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 <a lot more omitted>
You can execute the same command in your terminal and that will execute the application. Reading that line will also (indirectly) tell you where the kotlinc command is installed, and in my case – using MacOS – it's at /Applications/IntelliJ\ IDEA.app/Contents/plugins/Kotlin/kotlinc/bin/kotlinc
However, you can always decide to entirely stop using the IDE and compile/run your program from the command line by following instructions here: https://kotlinlang.org/docs/tutorials/command-line.html
The above answer by #user2340612 is mostly right, but maybe due to software changing or some differences in what i did, it did not work for me. Following did:
to avoid repetition, i'll be using the short name: $(ideac) = "IntelliJ IDEA Community Edition 2022.2" in place of the full name
the path to the kotlinc is this one: $(ideac)\plugins\Kotlin\kotlinc\bin
much similar to the one told above, but slightly different
i have verified it to work in the command given in the command-line doc linked above or compiler-reference too: kotlinc hello.kt -include-runtime -d hello.jar
running the resultant .jar file via java -jar ./hello.jar shows the expected output
there's no kotlin-native in that folder, so, couldn't verify this native-command-line-compiler kotlin doc
Backstory/What did not work
the command under the run tab in $(ideac) no longer shows the kotlinc path
I had created the Kotlin "project" by using "new project" (intelliJ) or by "Kotlin multiplatform > JVM" (gradle)
The run command for either of these did not contain any kotlinc in them
I tried creating a new > "scratch" file; and it showed this: $(ideac)\plugins\Kotlin\bin\windows\LLDBFrontend.exe but i tried using that on CLI and it did not work either

SonarQube - integrationTest.exec - sonarRunner (Gradle) or "sonar-runner" command - showing 0.0% covereage

I'm successfully generating 2 .exec files by Jacoco within "build/jacoco" folder after running a Gradle based build and integration tests.
Gradle command:
"gradle clean build integrationTest"
Once done, it generates the following .exec files under build/jacoco folder.
test.exec
integrationTest.exec
Following is my sonar-project.properties file. When, I run "sonar-runner" from Linux prompt it completes but on SonarQube dashboard for this project, I see Unit test says some 34.5% but integration tests says 0.0%. Both .exec files have valid size. I also did "cat" on the .exec files and piped the output to "strings" command in Linux and saw that integrationTest.exec did hit the Tests functions - I have only 1 .java file.
When I run "gradle clean build integrationTest sonarRunner -Dxxx.xxx=yyy -Dyyy.xx=zzz" i.e. by passing all the sonar variable as mentioned in the sonar-project.properties file using -D option, it works but same result on SonarQube project's dashboard. Project's sonar dashboard has both widgets configured for Unit / Integration Tests and I'm including IT tests for showing Overall coverage. Overall coverage is showing 34.5% (which is Unit test % value). Sonar does see test.exec, integrationTest.exec and also auto generates overall-xxx.exec file as well during this operation.
NOTE: I'm no where - while starting tomcat on a separate putty / linux console -OR within Gradle build script, providing any value or setting JAVA Agent for Jacoco. I'm getting integrationTest.exec file and test.exec file already so not sure if JVM needs to be stopped once IT tests are complete running. I don't think I need those as i have valid file size for .exec files.
My ?:
- Why sonar is not getting IT coverage on the dashboard even though I'm setting / passing the following variable correctly:
sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=build/jacoco/integrationTest.exec
-bash-3.2$ cat sonar-project.properties
# Root project information
sonar.projectKey=com:company:product:ProjectA
sonar.projectName=ProjectA
sonar.projectVersion=1.0
# optional description
sonar.projectDescription=ProjectA Service
#Tells SonarQube that the code coverage tool by unit tests is JaCoCo
sonar.java.coveragePlugin=jacoco
#Tells SonarQube to reuse existing reports for unit tests execution and coverage reports
sonar.dynamicAnalysis=reuseReports
# Some properties that will be inherited by the modules
sonar.sources=src/java,test/java,src/java-test
# Sonar Unit Test Report path
sonar.jacoco.reportPath=build/jacoco/test.exec
# Sonar Integration Test Report Path
sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=build/jacoco/integrationTest.exec
sonar.junit.reportsPath=build/UT/results
# Sonar Binaries
sonar.binaries=build/classes/main
Narrowing down the cause: I think it's due to the .exec file for Integration test. To proove it: I passed UT exex file to both reportsPaths in Sonar variables i.e. the following and SonarQube picked both UT/IT test coverage. This prooves that if .exec file for IT tests is good (which I think it's But I need to double check) then Sonar will pick the .exec file and show a valid coverage % instead of 0.0%. Note: the following is just to proove if Sonar is picking the values or not. itReportPath variable should use the .exe file which is generated by Integration tests by Jacoco.
sonar.jacoco.reportPath=build/jacoco/test.exec
# Sonar Integration Test Report Path
#sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=build/jacoco/testintegrationTest.exec
sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=build/jacoco/test.exec
OK Found the issue. I was running integrationTest task in Gradle and was NOT attaching the jacocoagent.jar (as per Jacoco documentation) to the target JVM (Tomcat's instance) scope. Once I did that, I removed jacoco { ... } section from integrationTest task in Gradle (build.gradle or GRADLE_HOME/init.d/some.common.gradle file as this attach jacoco agent to the Java JVM in which Gradle is running). Now, once jacocoagent.jar was attached to Tomcat's JVM (as per the line below which I added in Tomcat's startup.sh script and added the variable to the command which starts Tomcat), then I ran Gradle (integrationTest) task for running IT tests.
PROJ_EXTRA_JVM_OPTS=-javaagent:tomcat/jacocoagent.jar=destfile=build/jacoco/IT/jacocoIT.exec,append=false
Then while Gradle was in progress, tests ran and I got a file (jacocoIT.exec at the given location) with some file size BUT this is not yet the final one. I had to stop the Tomcat session/JVM instance by running Tomcat's stop.sh script. Once Tomcat was stopped, I saw jacocoIT.exec file size increased significantly and this was the valid final jacocoIT.exec file (which I needed for sonarRunner Gradle task OR sonar-runner exectuable to pick and successfully push IT code coverage data to project's sonar dashboard). Once done, I got both UT + IT and it's combined code coverage.
sonar.jacoco.reportPath=build/jacoco/UT/jacocoUT.exec
sonar.jacoco.itReportPath=build/jacoco/IT/jacocoIT.exec

How can I execute a SBT managed JLine class

I'm developing a JLine based application, which I'd obviously like to test as I develop.
JLine is a handy library which provides interactive console functionality to JVM applications.
JLine doesn't work in the Intellij console, probably because they've appropriated the tab key for their own nefarious needs, and what I want to test is tab-completion, because I'm implementing some tab-completed commands.
I drop to the SBT console, and try run-main Example simple, but I throws an Exception because there are now two jline libraries in the classloader - my one, and the one that SBT uses so the application explodes while loading JLine library (Singletons are evil)....
Sigh... Twiddle about at the SBT console for a bit, and discover I can run:
> show runtime:managed-classpath
[info] List(Attributed(/home/bryan/.sbt/boot/scala-2.10.0/lib/scala-library.jar), Attributed(/home/bryan/.ivy2/cache/org.parboiled/parboiled-scala_2.10/bundles/parboiled-scala_2.10-1.1.5.jar), Attributed(/home/bryan/.ivy2/cache/org.parboiled/parboiled-core/bundles/parboiled-core-1.1.5.jar), Attributed(/home/bryan/.ivy2/cache/jline/jline/jars/jline-2.10.jar))
I know I can parse that list, obviously spaces or commas would be a perfectly viable separator but Scala developers don't seem to be wired that way...
But SBT only seems to parse that command when I'm in it's console, if I execute that command from the actual, UNIX, console, like so:
% sbt show runtime:managed-classpath
[info] Loading project definition from /common/moon_excel/project
[info] Set current project to moon_excel (in build file:/common/moon_excel/)
[error] Not a valid command: show (similar: shell)
[error] Expected whitespace character
[error] Expected '/'
[error] Expected ':'
[error] Not a valid key: show (similar: show-timing)
[error] show
I'm trying to automate the process for when I've got 100 jars on the classpath (slight exaggeration), any suggestions?
sbt 0.13 (currently at RC3) moves JLine classes so that they aren't visible to user code. This should avoid conflicts with your code. Note that JLine currently leaks class loaders, so you may get PermGen errors after several runs.
You can use export runtime:fullClasspath in 0.13 to export a standard classpath string. In earlier versions, you can write a custom task. See also plugins like sbt-start-script, which generate a run script for you.
Finally, if possible, consider writing tests that don't need an interactive prompt. For example, sbt itself has some ScalaCheck properties for its completion library.
