[FIXED] I didn't know you were supposed to run the gradle task "runClient" (mcmod.info won't load)

UPDATE: I took the example project, ran the terminal-free intellij setup, and ran it with the minecraft client option, and it also did not recognize its mcmod.info file. Is it not supposed to, or have I done something wrong elsewhere?

UPDATE 2: It appears to work when I run the gradle task runClient in the foregradle group, but NOT when I run the run configuration forge/intellij created, MinecraftClient. To clarify, the only thing that ever didn't work was the mcmod.info loading.

UPDATE 3: It was just explained to me that you are in fact supposed to use the runClient gradle task, and that was the entire problem.

=========================================================================

 

I have followed the guide and the example mod file structure to the best of my ability, and everything seems to work fine EXCEPT for it's as if my mcmod.info file does not exist.

I am assuming I have had some error in my file structure but after looking around the example files and the internet for a while I have no idea what I have done wrong.

I am very inexperienced in actually organizing project files and have never used gradle before.

Running 'MinecraftClient' works for me.  You probably just forgot to choose the module in the run configuration screen (halfway down).  Need to choose 'main' from the dropdown.

 

Did you get a specific error when you tried to run MinecraftClient configuration?

No, I never got any error, but the console did say that properties were not being found for my mod, and being replaced with defaults, more evidence that the mcmod.info was not being recognized. I thought I had in fact selected the 'main' module:

When I run Intellij mcmod.info isn't even in the list under the project.  Did you run into that issue?  Or have a fix for it?
