I am trying to make a post request from postman to my function https://fra.cloud.appwrite.io/v1/functions/functionid/executions on the same body when i put from the appwrite dashboard sucess and when trying same request from postman i get

Native logs detected. Use context.log() or context.error() for better experience. Failed to parse request body as JSON: SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input at JSON.parse (<anonymous>) at Module.default (file:///usr/local/server/src/function/src/main.js:112:21) at execute (/usr/local/server/src/server.js:220:42) at action (/usr/local/server/src/server.js:237:27) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at async /usr/local/server/src/server.js:26:5 This is from appwrite logs for the execution with status code 400

Cannot parse what i am doing is Const data = JSON.parse(req.body) in a try and catch block I trying changing it to req.payload but the same problem , what i am doing wrong ??

TL;DR
Developers are facing an error when executing a function from Postman due to a JSON parsing issue. The error message suggests using `context.log()` or `context.error()` for better logging. The issue is related to parsing the request body as JSON, resulting in a SyntaxError: Unexpected end of JSON input. The solution includes changing `Const data = JSON.parse(req.body)` to potentially use `req.payload` instead.
