azure-functions-core-tools: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'provider')

Hi there, I was just using the HttpExample code and nothing was changed, after I clicked F5 according to the guide and the issue came up, even I used func start in the project folder the issue remained the same.

Having this error today trying to run our Azure Functions locally (Windows, using Visual Studio and command line) Azure Functions Core Tools Core Tools Version: 3.0.3284 Commit hash: 98bc25e668274edd175a1647fe5a9bc4ffb6887d Function Runtime Version: 3.0.15371.0

Installed the npm package to run on the command line using func host start, and got the same error. Rolled back the npm package to version 3.0.3233, and do NOT get the error; project runs successfully. Is this a problem with the current version (3.0.3284) or runtime?

Runs successfully with: Core Tools Version: 3.0.3233 Commit hash: d1772f733802122a326fa696dd4c086292ec0171 Function Runtime Version: 3.0.15193.0

Same issue for me :

Azure Functions Core Tools Core Tools Version: 3.0.3233 Commit hash: d1772f7 Function Runtime Version: 3.0.15193.0 Value cannot be null. (Parameter ‘provider’)

After i removed the extensionBundle section from host.json it started working for me.

I’m also experiencing this issue with the v3 Functions runtime, and Java worker runtime.

@anthonychu I don’t use extension bundles and don’t have .azure-functions-core-tools in my user folder.

Here’s the output:

EDIT: This issue only occurs when I debug the function app through VSCode, but not when I manually trigger func host start…
