(dev-only) running console without backing instance gives unhelpful error

[nwoolmer]

During dev, if you run the web console without a backing QuestDB instance, you get an obscure error:

It'd be great if this was an error message rather than a crash.

I ran into the same problem just now.

really this is very unhelpful form of error !!

This happens during development builds only, and does not impact regular users.
