If invalid JSON is passed to jq.promised.raw all future runs an empty string

[mandatoryprogrammer]

When using jq.promised.raw, if you pass an invalid <json-string> as input then all future calls to jq.promised.raw will return an empty string "".

Example:

// Pass invalid JSON in
await jq.promised.raw('{#@#}', '.');
// Result of the above is an empty string still.

// Pass in valid JSON
await jq.promised.raw('{"test":"test"}', '.');
// Result of the above is an empty string still.

This bug tripped me up but I figured out what causes it, let me know if you need more reproduction information.

No, I want the solution!

I don't know how to fix this one. I fixed it in my own code by doing an initial JSON.parse of the input JSON inside of a try/catch and returning an error instead of passing it to jq.promise.raw.
