CURDATE() functions results in lost connection when used in a VIRTUAL column

-- create table with virtual column using the curdate() function

CREATE TABLE `TestTable` (

 `TestId` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,

 `VirtualColumnTest` tinyint(4) GENERATED ALWAYS AS (if(curdate() between '2020-01-01' and '2020-01-02',1,0)) VIRTUAL,

 PRIMARY KEY (`TestId`)

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

-- selecting with "*" works as expected

SELECT * FROM TestTable;

-- selecting directly by column triggers error

SELECT VirtualColumnTest FROM TestTable;
