Script with a main method is not run in kscript

I’m using IntelliJ to write kotlin script. In order to make my script valid with IntelliJ inspections, I’m defining a standard main method. The problem is that when running my file from kscript, my main method is not run at all.

Is there a special action to run the main method from the command line ?

Concerning the //ENTRY directive. Assuming the presence of a main method does not make sense imho because kotlin scripts don’t require a main and work fine without.

And since Kotlin is very flexible concerning how main can be defined in a kt source file, I’m not sure it’s intuitive to assume one particular type of main. E.g. another popular to define via a companion method:

class Foo{
    companion object {
        @JvmStatic fun main(args: Array<String>) {
            println("Hello World")
        }
    }
}

To detect the entry-point programmatically here would require quite some non-trivial logic.

fixed with v2.0.1. Feel welcome to comment on this ticket if you still struggle to run your code with that version.
