`obsidian base:query` yields no results

Steps to reproduce

obsidian base:query file="My Bases.base" view="All Bases"

This returns an empty JSON array.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Please, follow the Troubleshooting Guide before answering Yes.

Expected result

A list of every row in the base table.

Actual result

No row data is returned.
Note: when I use format=md, it does correctly show the columns, so the cli is reading the correct base file and the returned data but is missing all rows.
