Adding OData Connected Service to the project through local saved metadata failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

I have OData Endpoint with Authentication and I can't connect it through URI. When I try it, then it "Cannot access ...metadata".
When I try workaround placed here: Issue #82 ...it still fails with "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error.

How is possible to link OData Endpoint with Authentication to .NET Standard project? (Visual Studio 2017, version 15.6.7)

This extension does not currently support authentication. To work around, download the metadata as a text file from the endpoint and then point the OData Connected Services URI to the downloaded file.

Thank you for your quick reply, @AlanWong-MS . But when I download the metadata as a text file (.edmx) from the endpoint and then I point the OData Connected Services URI to the downloaded file, then arise this error: Adding OData Connected Service to the project failed: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Am I doing anything wrong?

Same for me. Saving definition locally, same error when trying to use it to create OData reference. Seems that this is long time problem and no solution for it.
