Answer 1

I found the solution here:

1. In your Azure project, edit any diagnostics.wadcfgx files in a text editor, and set <IsEnabled>false</IsEnabled> (near the bottom)

2. Right click project > Publish, untick Send diagnostics data to Application Insights, hit Next

I had upgraded from Azure SDK 2.3 to 2.9.

Answer 2

I had this exact issue after upgrading Azure Tools from 2.6 to 2.9 - I solved it by going into Programs and Features and uninstalling all items that started with "Microsoft Azure" and had a 2.6 version number in the name, leaving only the 2.9 behind (all with Visual Studio 2013 closed). Then I restarted Visual Studio 2013 and it magically started working properly!

Answer 3

I.ve installed the Azure SDK 2.7 (the features for VS2013), restarted the VS2013 and it worked again, you can download the SDK items manually at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=48178
