Good catch! We are trying to run npm publish and log the output but only return the exit code from a bash function. The rest of the output is being returned from the function as well, and that's what bash is erroring on.

Right now I think even if npm publish were to fail, this works as expected because there won't be anything on stdout in that case. But we should still clean up this script so it doesnt report those syntax errors.
