dbt run_query macro from dbt-utils throws syntax error

Question

When I follow the trivial example from the dbt-utils website: https://docs.getdbt.com/reference/dbt-jinja-functions/run_query

-- models/foo.sql
{% if execute %}

    {% set results = run_query('select 1 as id') %}
    {% do results.print_table() %}

{% endif %}

I get the syntax error:

Database Error in model testcard_id_audit (models/audit/foo.sql)
  syntax error at or near ")"
  LINE 13:   );

I actually get this with every query I try to run.

dbt version:

dbt --version
