ZAP not printing script errors to console in cmdline mode with `-script`

[Najam Ul Saqib]

Describe the bug

I am running a standalone script that contains a syntax error, but ZAP doesn't print errors to console.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

Here's the command I am using
./zap.sh -cmd -script /Users/administrator/Downloads/script.js
The output:

Found Java version 11.0.20.1
Available memory: 0 MB

The script:
print('hello world')i i is added to introduce error

Expected behavior

It should print errors to console.

For info I think this used to work, but a recent change might have broken it ... possibly zaproxy/zap-extensions@de7ae1a
I was looking into it at one stage but got distracted ..
