Issue Description

There is an inner exception during SpecFlow initialization which isn't surfaced and thus its source is unclear:

-> Loading plugin /Users/genaverdel/Workspace/bdd-netcore/specs/Bin/Debug/TechTalk.SpecFlow.xUnit.SpecFlowPlugin.dll -> Using specflow.json Exception thrown: 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' in System.Private.CoreLib.dll Exception thrown: 'System.Reflection.ReflectionTypeLoadException' in TechTalk.SpecFlow.dll

Steps to Reproduce

Unfortunately I can't share the code here

@SabotageAndi I found the reflection problem manually. It would be nice to have it surfaced or dumped for faster debugging

@godrose Until https://github.com/techtalk/SpecFlow/issues/1305 is not fixed, I won't be able to have a look at this.

@SabotageAndi Is there any update?

@godrose No, no progress on this issue. An sample application to reproduce this error would help to make the needed changes.
