Facing JSON.parse error in internal file of teamsFx when initiating communication from MS Teams

[bhaskar-012024]

Key Components Used:

1. Azure Bot: For creation of the Bot which is referred in the Teams app. Here the target was the Azure WebApp. Any message to the bot will go through the Azure Bot and then to the Azure WebApp
2. Azure WebApp: This is the place where my Node.js server resides and here we are using teams toolkit(teamsFx) for developed logic related to the bot interaction.

Recently we started getting errors when the user interacts with the Bot via Teams app. Interesting thing is we haven't made any changes to the Azure Bot or WebApp or any component in the structure recently but suddenly we stated seeing below error that is refereeing to a JSON.parse statement in the @microsoft/teamsfx/dist/index.node.cjs.js internal file, which obviously we haven't directly called in any of our code. Previously it is working perfectly fine, and we don't have any issue but not sure why we are receiving this error now without any change in configuration or code.

When we test the same bot directly from the Azure portal inside Azure Bot> Settings> Test in Web Chat it is working perfectly fine but we are getting issue only when there is any conversation from the MS Teams channel.

I am using the TeamsFx version of 2.3.1 and i tried to update it to 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 but still facing the issue. My Azure app node version was 20 and i tried with 18 also but no luck.

Please let me know if any further information is required. Any help in resolving issue is much appreciated.
