ERROR (ls): TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]

[Tobi Schäfer]

Describe the bug
When I try to connect to a PostgreSQL database server on localhost, the connection times out.

In the output console of VSCodium I see this error/stack trace:

[1710440564318] ERROR (ls): TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "key" argument must be of type string or an instance of ArrayBuffer, Buffer, TypedArray, DataView, KeyObject, or CryptoKey. Received null

Additional context

The connection configuration:

{
	"sqltools.connections": [
		{
			"previewLimit": 50,
			"server": "localhost",
			"port": 5432,
			"driver": "PostgreSQL",
			"name": "Local DB",
			"database": "postgres",
			"username": "tobi",
			"connectionTimeout": 3,
			"askForPassword": false,
			"password": ""
		}
	]
}

I have a mapping in /etc/postgres/14/main/pg_ident.conf and can connect via psql without any issues:

$ sudo tail -2 /etc/postgresql/14/main/pg_ident.conf
# MAPNAME       SYSTEM-USERNAME         PG-USERNAME
localhost	tobi			postgres

$ psql -U tobi
psql (14.11 (Ubuntu 14.11-1.pgdg22.04+1))
Type "help" for help.
