Description

Using "WCFWeb Service Reference Provider" succeeds on one host and fails on the other for the same wsdl file.
The only output I can see in Visual Studio 2019 output console is the following:
Error : An unknown error occurred while invoking the service metadata component. Failed to generate service reference.

Can I perhaps collect some more meaningful debug log ?

Environment:
Windows 10 1809
VS 2019 Professional [v16.9.2]
.Net Core 3.1 class library project

The "WCFWeb Service Reference Provider" component is the one shipped with VS default installation, I hope this is the same topic/repo.
