Azure Functions Run Configuration doesn't work for kotlin projects

I have created a maven based Azure Functions project using the kotlin archetype as mentioned in the documentation here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-create-maven-kotlin-intellij

When attempting to run the function using the Azure Functions run configuration it fails with a popup containing the message

Failed to run function app locally, as failed prepare staging folder[/tmp/azure-functions9016980085653394574] failed

And in the terminal there is an error message

Unable to find project root. Expecting to find one of host.json, local.settings.json in project root.

Is support for kotlin to be expected in the future? It would be nice to be able to do in-process debugging instead of using the remote debugger.

We have tested this on both Linux and Windows with the same result.
