Bicep deployment failing on certain environments: New-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: p. Path '', line 2, position 0.

Question

I've encountered an issue within a few development environments where the bicep deployments have begun to fail with the following error:

Error:
New-AzResourceGroupDeployment : Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: p. Path '', line 2, position 0.

Question:
Is this a know issue and is there a path to reset those environments?

@Gerald Mull Welcome to Microsoft Q & A Community Forum. A similar question has been asked on GitHub Channel. Based on the discussion , seems due to difference in version of PowerShell and Bicep, the mentioned error is prompted. Kindly check if its the case with your issue as well.
