NullReferenceException when using Reverse Engineering with Handlebars

See original GitHub issue

I have this configuration and I already have the CodeTemplates folder in my project.

Using VS2019, MySQL 8 and EFCorePowerTools 2.4

And I get this result:

System.Exception: Reverse engineer error: 
System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Any ideas?
