CodeIgniter CLI returns blank when utilizing a model

Have you changed log mode in Codeigniter?
Have you checked your PHP error logs, depending on the crash it won't be visible in your CI logs.

I did check that I have "display_errors = on" on php.ini and that I also have set a valid error log path with correct permissions...
I'm afraid that nothing is displayed not there nor in my STDOUT.

There must be something specific with my project since I've made the same test on a local debian box with php 7.3 and apache server and had exactly the same problem.

The funny thing is that through web it works fine in both situations (Docker and PC)!

I am out of ideas.
