Cannot call renderPageTemplate from a console request

[timkelty]

Description

I'm trying to call Craft::$app->getView()::renderPageTemplate or Craft::$app->getView()::renderTemplate from within a console request and an exception gets thrown:

Session does not exist in a console request

Is this expected? Craft::$app->getView()::renderTemplate does seem to work, but this is a full html doc, so renderPageTemplate seemed right.

Here's the stack trace:
