What steps will reproduce the bug?

In this case the error occurs when attempting to scan the metadata of a postgresql database (iterating over tables), where I get output on the first table but an error on the second. The actual line of code erroring here is " console.log(metadata: ${rows});"

This code works on windows under visual studio code and it works on linux run from a separate terminal.

How often does it reproduce? Is there a required condition?

In this environment on linux in visual code it's 100% reproduceable; I haven't been able to generate a small test example.

What is the expected behavior? Why is that the expected behavior?

The expected behavior is not to error out on a console log call.

What do you see instead?
