`SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input` with Prisma 2.x and specific Node version(s)

Bug description

Since this morning all my call to model.findMany are giving me this error when running on Heroku:

But it’s working fine when i’m running my project locally. It’s the same code on heroku but the findMany calls are not working…

This is the of code for the above error:

    const pendingBets = await prisma.bet.findMany({
        where: {
            status: 0
        },
    });

Environment & setup

• OS: MacOs
• Database: PostgreSQL
• Node.js version: 16.15.0

Prisma Version

2.30.3

This broke for us (using Prisma v2.30.3) when upgrading from Node v16.16 to v16.17 (released Aug 16, 2022). Pinning Node to v16.16 fixed the issue. It appears Node updated its JSON escape sequences to align with the JSON spec (\v, specifically) and v2 of Prisma seems to reference that escape sequence in its code.

Changelog: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/main/doc/changelogs/CHANGELOG_V16.md#16.17.0 PR: https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/43206 Commit: https://github.com/nodejs/node/commit/486dcd7c69b3601252373cca7a132b67a0125fb8

And closing the issue to signal that there is nothing for us to do.

Everyone finding this via Google, please read above how to fix this (upgrade Prisma or change Node version). Thanks.
