Exit code: '137' Error: 'Failed to initialize CoreCLR in Visual Studio Code

Question

I get this error when I click on F5(Start Debugging) in my project:

In the Terminal window I have this:

MSBuild version 17.5.1+f6fdcf537 for .NET
  Determining projects to restore...
  All projects are up-to-date for restore.
  Myazurefunctions -> /Users/name/Myazurefunctions/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/bin/Myazurefunctions.dll
/Users/name/.nuget/packages/microsoft.azure.webjobs.script.extensionsmetadatagenerator/1.1.8/build/Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.ExtensionsMetadataGenerator.targets(37,5): warning : Failed to initialize CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005 [/Users/name/Myazurefunctions/Myazurefunctions.csproj]
  Debug output from extension.json generator:
  
/Users/name/.nuget/packages/microsoft.azure.webjobs.script.extensionsmetadatagenerator/1.1.8/build/Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Script.ExtensionsMetadataGenerator.targets(37,5): error : Metadata generation failed. Exit code: '137' Error: 'Failed to initialize CoreCLR, HRESULT: 0x80004005' [/Users/name/Myazurefunctions/Myazurefunctions.csproj]

 *  The terminal process "dotnet 'build', '/property:GenerateFullPaths=true', '/consoleloggerparameters:NoSummary'" terminated with exit code: 1. 
 *  Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it. 

I have already tried to delete my project's bin and obj folders on my Mac but the problem still exists when I open Visual Studio Code. My project looks like this:

How can I solve this problem?

Hi @Kim Strasser , 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

You are using Visual Studio Code, which is different from Visual Studio. The tag “Visual Studio Debugging” is related to Visual Studio, for more questions about Visual Studio Code, please post it to the Stack Overview tagged visual-studio-code forum or GitHub repository where you would get professional support for this product.

Thanks for your understanding. 

Sincerely,

Anna
