ASTOUNDED at how difficult it is to start a Kotlin Boot project
I'm trying to start the very simplest project. Latest version of IntelliJ IDEA 213.7172.25
The absolute default kotlin-spring project, created in Intellij. No dependencies except Spring Web.

I open the project and absolutely nothing works. Every tutorial says there should be Spring runners in the gutters, but I get no syntax highlighting, no directory structure folder marks, no run options in the gutters, no run configurations. Nothing 
I can't seem to make a run configuration either:

How is this the default behaviour????
Either y'alls documentation needs some work, or something is in severe regression (or I'm a total idiot)
But, I feel like, if I'm using the most common framework on the language built by JetBrains in this JetBrains IDE, it really shouldn't be that hard to get the most basic possible configuration to run with JetBrains documentation.

@Gwelkind Hi, the syntax highlighting, run gutter, and related feature works after the IDEA imports this project successfully.
I suspect the IDEA still doesn't import this project successfully in your case.
Please click the Gradle tool window in IDEA's right sidebar, click the reload button, and open the Build tool window (`View | Tool window | Build`), and check any errors there.
Try to fix it or share the error message here.
