Running Kotlin file without class

[dvanderleij]

Motivation

In IntelliJ I can run a Kotlin file that does not have a class: e.g. a file named Main.kt

fun main() {
    println("hello World")
}

(No enclosing class)

Description

I would like to see a run/debug button just like in Java in VScode above this main function to run this.

Alternatives considered

Using IntelliJ, creating a class wrapper

This should work in VSCode thanks to fwcd/vscode-kotlin#92. (you might need to rebuild the project before running/debugging). (debug adapter should be installed, but that happens automatically in my knowledge). Maybe we can close this issue? @fwcd

For the people curious about the same in Emacs: If you are using lsp-mode, you can activate lsp-kotlin-lens-mode to see run/debug code lenses 🙂

Hi, Haven't tested extensively as I am currently not developing any Kotlin code but the run and debug now appear in the main branch version :)
