However if I enter the same from the PSQL tool I get the correct output.

But that output goes to my screen and I have found no way of directing it to a file on my Mac.

Any suggestions? Either getting rid of the error message and getting the output to my screen within the Query tool where I can then dump the output to a file
OR a way of running my query using the PSQL tool and redirecting the output to a file on my computer.

Which pg version you're on?

Generally, try updating to newest pgadmin, from git repo
(https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/), there is/was a bug that
caused problems when using pg < 11 :
https://github.com/pgadmin-org/pgadmin4/commit/732bcc2b4d91f0126cf69d69c14df199bc4106bc

Best regards,

Thanks - it seems we might be on pg 10.17-1 /Carl

Problem solved - thanks Depez! (The solution for now is to downgrade to PGadmin4 version 7.2)

Redirect the output in psql with meta command \out:

\out /path/to/file.txt
select * from table_1;

Two other solutions:
psql --dbname=foo -c "select * from table_1;" > table_1.txt
psql foo --csv -c "select * from table_1;" > table_1.csv
