SQL Change Automation for Visual Studio 2019 does not create MigrationLog and SchemaSnapShot tables

I'm using Visual Studio 2019 version 4.8.04084 with SQL Change Automation extension from here https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=vs-publisher-306627.RedgateSqlChangeAutomation

When creating a new SQL Change Automation project with source/target database, it's stuck at 90% for more than 12 hours. I have to terminate Visual Studio manually from task manager. When I go back to look at the project, it generated scripts/folder for baseline/programmable-objects/schema-model. However, it did not generate those two tables  __MigrationLog and __SchemaSnapShot in target database. 

It used to work few months ago when I did this for another database. 

Has anyone encountered this issue?

    Yes, it should create those objects when deploying, so it looks like your deployment is failing for some reason.
    Does this happen even if you create a new project from scratch?

    Yes it happens when I create a brand new project from scratch for existing databases.

    I just realized those tables are created after I "deploy" it. 

    However, there's no record in table __SchemaSnapshot. Is that normal?

    That's normal if it happens on the database you use for the build, if it's a release target it's also normal in the first deployment, this should have a record after the second deployment.
