Error handling upgrade request TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'bind')

Question

I'm having an issue where after starting the dev server for nextjs I will frequently get the same error message every few seconds. I am running the following versions:"@clerk/backend": "^1.13.1""@clerk/nextjs": "^5.5.5""next": "14.2.12"The issue does go away if I update my middleware.ts file to be much more specific but when using the config from the clerk docs I receive the above errors.I did first create a support ticket w/ Clerk here: https://discord.com/channels/856971667393609759/1285718263208218655 but was ultimately redirected here.This is occurring when using the base clerk quickstart (with updated versions of the packages) that can be found here: https://github.com/clerk/clerk-nextjs-app-quickstart and contains the following middleware: import { clerkMiddleware } from "@clerk/nextjs/server";

// This Middleware does not protect any routes by default.
// See https://clerk.com/docs/references/nextjs/clerk-middleware for more information about configuring your Middleware
export default clerkMiddleware();

export const config = {
  matcher: [
    // Skip Next.js internals and all static files, unless found in search params
    "/((?!_next|[^?]*\.(?:html?|css|js(?!on)|jpe?g|webp|png|gif|svg|ttf|woff2?|ico|csv|docx?|xlsx?|zip|webmanifest)).*)",
    // Always run for API routes
    "/(api|trpc)(.*)",
  ],
};The issue occurs immediately after running npm run dev.If any more information is helpful please let me know 🙂
