How about adding a Kotlin template?

[nilwurtz]

Hi everyone.
I often use gauge in my kotlin-maven projects, and I think that there is no problem with IntelliJ plugin support.

However, gauge init command does not have a template for kotlin, so I always use a template like this.

How about adding a template for kotlin to gauge init command to make it more friendly to developers who want to develop in Kotlin?

I understand that these discussions are taking place.

You can add custom templates and point to the location of a custom template for example.

Change template configurations.

Usage:
  gauge template [flags] [args]

Examples:
  gauge template custom-template https://example.org/templates/custom-template.zip

This can point to a GitHub release too. If you have a sample Kotlin file maybe you can share that link here so that others can try out your plugin as

gauge template kotlin https://example.org/templates/kotlin-template.zip

Thank you.

Sorry for not knowing about the gauge template command.
I would like to create a kotlin-maven plugin release and share it here.

By the way, do you have any plans to add Gauge's default template like getgauge/template-kotlin?

@nilwurtz there are no plans for this. Gauge does not have a dedicated core team and it's better for these plugins and templates to be maintained independently. Google is good at indexing gauge plugins. If you are planning to add a repo with a README on how to use it please drop a link to it.

@zabil
Thank you for answering.

Now then I've created template repository and the release, so we can create Kotlin project with using the command below!

• Add custom template

gauge template kotlin_maven https://github.com/nilwurtz/gauge-kotlin-maven/releases/latest/download/kotlin_maven.zip

• Init with the template

gauge init kotlin_maven

I hope everyone will use it.

Now that we can init kotlin project by using a custom template, I'm going to close this discussion.

• Add custom template

gauge template kotlin_maven https://github.com/nilwurtz/gauge-kotlin-maven/releases/latest/download/kotlin_maven.zip

• Init with the template

gauge init kotlin_maven

Thanks!
