Seems like spring boot kotlin doesn't want to cooperate in any way. Tried to set up a backend with it, but it keeps showing an error regarding wrong jvm-target. The project runs nevertheless. I changed the maven settings according to the docs, but no change. Whatever, still runs. However a newly created "hello world" rest endpoint just doesn't work, even following a beginner tutorial. localhost:8080/hello ... error fallback page.
I really wanted to give kotlin a try. Doing the same with java, instantly working.
Fuck spring boot kotlin. Or fuck me for not knowing how to handle it.

    Usually in these cases you missed something really really stupid

    @dmonkey yup exactly. All the autogenerated code I used to get in the past made me forget how to manually set up a controller properly. Neither vs code nor kotlin language service reminded me of declaring the package. Also haven't found a tool to autogenerate this boilerplate.
    Only thing left is the error for runApplication() which I cannot get rid of even though I configured it the settings. At least it works.

    Loooooool look at the bright side, now you'll always remember.

    Btw didn't Spring boot had some kind of website where you could download a zip with some scaffolding?

    Edit: yep
