AWS local Lambda run configuration cannot be created or edited in IntelliJ IDEA #6363

Describe the bug
Creating or editing an AWS local Lambda run configuration does not open any configuration UI in IntelliJ IDEA. Existing local Lambda run configurations cannot be edited, and trying to create a new one does nothing: no edit pane appears and no dialog opens.

To reproduce

  1. Open IntelliJ IDEA with the AWS Toolkit installed.
  2. Open Run | Edit Configurations...
  3. Try to select an existing local Lambda run configuration to edit it.
  4. Or click + and choose the AWS local Lambda run configuration type.
  5. Observe that nothing happens: no editor pane is shown and no dialog opens.

Expected behavior
Selecting an existing local Lambda run configuration should show its editable settings, and creating a new one should open the configuration editor so the run configuration can be created and
saved.
