+ The simplest way to run your plug-in in your IDE is to create a main function in the main class of your + plug-in as follows: +
+
+fun main(argv: Array<String>) {
+ com.beust.kobalt.main(argv)
+}
+
+
+ In order for this code to compile, you will have to switch the dependency of your plug-in from
+ kobalt-plugin-api to just kobalt, which is the actual application (and which
+ therefore contains the main() entry point).
+
+ // Normal dependency
+ compile("com.beust:kobalt-plugin-api:$KOBALT_VERSION")
+ // Development dependency
+ compile("com.beust:kobalt:$KOBALT_VERSION")
+
+ + You might find it convenient to leverage Kobalt's ability to use regular Kotlin variables to make things easier: +
+
+val dev = false
+val kobaltDependency = if (dev) "kobalt" else "kobalt-plugin-api"
+
+val p = project {
+ // ...
+
+ compile("com.beust:$kobaltDependency:$KOBALT_VERSION")
+}
+
+
+ Then you can simply set the dev to true during development and back to false
+ when you are ready to publish your plug-in.
+
+
+ Then resync your build file in IDEA and your main() function should now build and be launchable.
+ You can right click on that class file and select "Debug <your class name>", which will launch Kobalt
+ with your plug-in. You can set a breakpoint in one of your tasks or anywhere that gets invoked. Don't forget
+ to invoke this launch configuration with the regular parameters passed to Kobalt (e.g. "assemble").
