This symptom appears also when the directory you are writing file is incorrect.
For example, if the setting is
PROVIDER_URL=file:/C:/dir1/sdir2
and that directory is not found

It also happens when this directory is found, but the bindings file you are creating already exists.

I solved this problem by making sure the directory exists and renaming the existing bindings file in that directory
