@xiaolufei - Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. Can you confirm whether you plan to display this adaptive card on the Teams platform?

@Nivedipa-MSFT Yes, I plan to display this adaptive card on the Teams platform.

@Nivedipa-MSFT I hope you can resolve this issue as soon as possible. Currently, this problem is blocking our work and causing our card data to fail to render.

@Nivedipa-MSFT we are also getting same error and couldn't find any adaptive-expression CDN path. Tried with below but still same error

@Nivedipa-MSFT any updates on this?

I was having a similar error to the error above and so I tried to see if I can replicate above error. I was able to replicate the above error, whether or not I have the TextBlock with the dynamic expression in it. I belive the error is related to the following. In version 2.0 and later of adaptivecards-templating the adaptive-expressions package is not included. So when someone follows the docs and uses the script from CDN (version 2.0 or greater), it does not include adaptive-expressions and will always fail. If I changed that to use a version prior to 2.0 then the templating works, the card displays and I don't get the error. However, it still doesn't render the dynamic expression correctly. It displays the whole dynamic expression as text, rather than 'resolving' it.

Hopefully this helps shed some light on the issue
