Uncaught TypeError: inputArgs[0].match is not a function

I am starting to learn to react with REST Countries API. I have to face the error "Uncaught TypeError: inputArgs[0].match is not a function" in console. also, console data shows duplicate results. you can see the screenshot.

here is my code

import { useEffect, useState } from "react";
import "./App.css";

const gridStyle = {
    display: "grid",
    gridTemplateColumns: "repeat(4, 1fr)",
    gridGap: "20px",
};

function App() {
    return (
        <div className="App">
            <Countries></Countries> 
        </div>
    );
}

function Countries() {
    const [countries, setCountries] = useState([]);
    useEffect(() => {
        fetch("https://restcountries.com/v3.1/all")
            .then((res) => res.json())
            .then((data) => setCountries(data));
    }, []);

    return (
        <div className="all-countries">
            <p>{countries.length}</p>
            <div style={gridStyle} className="country-container">
                {countries.map((country) => (
                    <Country country={country}></Country>
                ))}
            </div>
        </div>
    );
}

function Country({ country }) {
    console.log(country);
    return (
        <div className="country">
            <img src={country.flags.png} alt="" />
            <h1>{country.name.common}</h1>
            <p>{country.name.official}</p>
            <p>{country.region}</p>
            <p>{country.population}</p>
            <button>Details</button>
        </div>
    );
}

I got around the error by passing string as first argument.

console.log('', data)

I think this was broken by a recent commit in the React Dev Tools Chrome Extension: https://github.com/facebook/react/commit/852f10b5cf188f8aa797f9a809f0caeaa95a4231

Hopefully that commit gets reverted soon.

I had a similar issue, for me the real error was in the stack trace before the one that says "Uncaught Type Error InputArgs[0].match ..."

So clear the console, then run it again to get the stack trace then scroll all the way up to see the error.
