The following seems to be related: microsoft/vstest#1950 I had the error after switching to Newtonsoft.Json version 12. Turning off code coverage or using another json serializer are workarounds.

Seems to be fixed with the combination of: Latest Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.2 (doesn’t work with 12.0.1) Latest stable Test platform: 16.2 (should be >16.0.2) Latest VSTest task 2.156.2 (should be >2.153.0)
