Kotlin Tutorial: Creating a Gradle / Kotlin Project - Example 2

This Kotlin tutorial is yet another example of setting up a Kotlin Project. First example can be found here on how to create a simple kotlin project:
There are several ways to create a Kotlin Project in IntelliJ, here's yet another way. This time we'll create a bare bones Kotlin Project, we'll use gradle init, but instead we'll choose option 9 in gradle init which is just a plain kotlin library instead of a kotlin application.
In this video I demonstrate how to create a new Kotlin Project that:
- includes the Kotlin JVM and Java SDK
- add a Kotlin gradle implementation using gradle init / option 9
- build the project
- Run a test using kotlin-test-junit

thanks for the explanation. I realized that gradle init needs to be done in existing project in order to run project in Intellij. @TDD TV in current gradle version (6.3) the prompt has changed and therefore options (1- basic, 2- app, 3- library 4-..) so 9 is now 3. Could you explain why you prefered library over app in that example?

Hey, thanks for the videos! The reason why the 'some test' details don't appear the first time is the filter on the test panel. You can select which tests are shown: failed tests (the barred circle, usually on), and successful tests (the check mark on the left), which is off the first time, and on after you reset IntelliJ. You also have other like unfold and so on. Note also that sometimes Gradle tests are not executing properly in IntelliJ, it says something like it hadn't receive the test event. It's a known bug and native IntelliJ testing usually works better, you can select that in the settings 'Build, Execution, Deployment' / 'Build tools' / 'Gradle' and select 'Run tests using: IntelliJ IDEA' instead of 'Gradle' if you run into this problem.
