Media Encoder command is failing

Hi, I’m attempting to run the following command in MacOS (it is lifted straight from the guide for setting this up):

"/Applications/Adobe Media Encoder 2025/Adobe Media Encoder 2025.app/Contents/MacOS/Adobe Media Encoder 2025"
 --console es.processFile /Users/user-account/Desktop/Test/test.jsx

When I run it, Media Encoder opens and I get the following response in terminal and then it just hangs and does nothing:

Could be wrong but it doesn’t even seem like it’s getting to the script file for that to be the issue, the command just isn’t working. Any advice?
