Workspace Error Message Different from Mac Terminal or IntelliJ

I'm just curious as to why my code works when using the workspace provided by Treehouse, but when I run the same code on Terminal in Mac or on IntelliJ, I get the standard stack trace response. I changed the http object to an https object based on the site's changes. I can connect with a 200 response when the URL is correct.

var https = require("https");
var username = "jtkeller";

function printMessage(username, badgeCount, points) {
    var message = username + " has " + badgeCount + " total badge(s) and " + points + " points in JavaScript";
    console.log(message);
}

var request = https.get("teamtreehouse.com/" + username + ".json", function (response) {
    console.log(response.statusCode);
});

request.on("error", function (error) {
    console.error(error.message);
});
