Describe the bug

When I try to set the state value via the state manager I get the following error:

  File "/home/robin/dev/ask-waldo/ask-waldo-teams-chatbot/.venv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/botbuilder/dialogs/memory/dialog_state_manager.py", line 293, in try_get_value
    i_first = path.upper().rindex(first)
ValueError: substring not found

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Call set_value on state_manager:
step_context.state.set_value("user.path", "a value")

Expected behavior

I do not receive an error and the state is updated.

Additional context

This can be fixed as follows:
In file: botbuilder-python/libraries/botbuilder-dialogs/botbuilder/dialogs/memory/dialog_state_manager.py

Update:
i_first = path.upper().rindex(first)

To:

        try:
            i_first = path.upper().rindex(first)
        except ValueError:
            i_first = -1

Or just fix that hacky thing that is being done there :)
