com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQueryException: Error getting access token for service account: Error w

[morpheus]

We've run into a very weird issue while using the bigquery java client library. The method com.google.cloud.bigquery.BigQueryImpl.getTable(BigQueryImpl.java:774)

e.g.: 

bigquery.getTable(TableId.of(datasetName, tableName));

throws exception if run in VS Code debugger and F10 (Step Over) but if we press F5 (Continue) there is no exception. Why does this happen and who is to blame - VS Code or BigQuery client library?

Full stack trace:
