[SOLVED] Unable to connect to RabbitMQ via steeltoe connector from .net core console application

I am trying to create a .net core 2.0 console application to connect to a rabbitmq instance in PCF. I am using the latest steeltoe connectors 2.1.0. Unfortunately I am not able to connect using AddRabbitMQConnection() and getting below exception when running in PCF. Basically it is not connection, but configuring ConnectionFactory with user provided service.

My console application code looks like below

 static void Main(string[] args)
        {
          var envName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT");

            var cfgBuilder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
               .SetBasePath(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
               .AddEnvironmentVariables()
               .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", true, false)
               .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{envName}.json", true, false)
               .AddCloudFoundry();
            var configuration = cfgBuilder.Build();

            var serviceCollection = new ServiceCollection();

            // Configure services for DI
            ConfigureServices(serviceCollection, configuration);

            var serviceProvider = serviceCollection.BuildServiceProvider();
            var worker = serviceProvider.GetRequiredService<Worker>();
            Console.WriteLine("Started reading from queue");
            worker.Receieve();

            Console.WriteLine("Finished executing task!");
        }

        private static void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services, IConfiguration configuration)
        {
            // add logging
            services.AddSingleton(new LoggerFactory()
            .AddConsole(configuration.GetSection("Logging"))
            .AddDebug());

            // Read the configuration from app settings. If not found,  use pcf version of rabbitmq
            var connectionConfig = configuration.GetSection("ConnectionFactory").Get<RabbitMqConnectionConfig>();
            if (connectionConfig != null)
            {
                var factory = new ConnectionFactory
                {
                    VirtualHost = connectionConfig.VirtualHost,
                    HostName = connectionConfig.HostName,
                    Port = Convert.ToInt32(connectionConfig.Port),
                    UserName = connectionConfig.UserName,
                    Password = connectionConfig.Password
                };
                services.AddSingleton<IConnectionFactory>(c => factory);
            }
            else
            {
                // use the steel-toe connector
                Console.WriteLine("Trying to connect to RabbitMQ via steeltoe connector!");
                services.AddRabbitMQConnection(configuration);
                Console.WriteLine("Connected to RabbitMQ via steeltoe connector!");
            }

            // add worker
            services.AddSingleton<Worker>();
        }
    }

I am using below packages

 <PackageReference Include="Steeltoe.Extensions.Configuration.CloudFoundryCore" Version="2.1.0" />
 <PackageReference Include="RabbitMQ.Client" Version="5.1.0" />
 <PackageReference Include="Steeltoe.CloudFoundry.ConnectorCore" Version="2.1.0" />

Any idea how to connect to PCF hosted rabbitmq instance from a console application. Steeltoe examples are mostly asp.net core samples.
