I got same thing and fixed it by updating Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools.

Note that as per the change list here, support for remote debugging of V2 functions was only enabled in 15.0.31201.0, and was granted a bug fix in 15.0.40108.0. https://github.com/Azure/Azure-Functions/blob/master/VS-AzureTools-ReleaseNotes.md

So, go into Tools and Extensions, see what version of the Azure Functions and Web Jobs Tools you have, and if it's older than 15.0.40108.0, upgrade it.
