SyntaxError: Unmatched selector: tbody tr

I’m using cheerio js 1.0.0-rc.3 to scrape a website. I also tried with 1.0.0-rc.2. Both have the same behavior

console.log($('table tbody tr')) Above console is printing all objects. However, when I tried to loop through the elements, like given below

$('table tbody tr').each(function (index, element) {
}

I’m getting the following error.

SyntaxError: Unmatched selector: tbody tr

Any insight on this error will be great help

Edit

Given below is the table structure I’m trying to scrape.

<table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" class="table table-striped" style="font-weight:bold">
<thead>
    <tr>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>                              
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    </tr>
</thead>    
<tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>row 1 col 1</td>
    <td>row 1 col 2</td>
    <td>row 1 col 3</td>
    <td>row 1 col 4</td>
    <td>row 1 col 5</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td>row 2 col 1</td>
    <td>row 2 col 2</td>
    <td>row 2 col 3</td>
    <td>row 2 col 4</td>
    <td>row 2 col 5</td>
    </tr>

</tbody>
</table>

I am puzzled, it still working.

My entire test code:

const cheerio = require('cheerio');

var html = `<table border="1" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1" class="table table-striped" style="font-weight:bold">
<thead>
    <tr>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    <th><strong>Heading</strong></th>
    </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
    <tr>
    <td>row 1 col 1</td>
    <td>row 1 col 2</td>
    <td>row 1 col 3</td>
    <td>row 1 col 4</td>
    <td>row 1 col 5</td>
    </tr>

    <tr>
    <td>row 2 col 1</td>
    <td>row 2 col 2</td>
    <td>row 2 col 3</td>
    <td>row 2 col 4</td>
    <td>row 2 col 5</td>
    </tr>

</tbody>
</table>`;


var $ = cheerio.load(html);
/* 
$('table tbody tr').each(function(i,a){
    console.log('Index: %s',i);
    console.log(a);
    console.log(cheerio.text([a]));
})
//*/


const ths = $('th').toArray(); // gets th's in thead
console.log(`ths length:\t${ths.length}`);

const trs = $('tr').toArray(); // gets tr's in thead, but not tr's in tbody
console.log(`trs length:\t${trs.length}`);

const tds = $('td').toArray(); // does not work 
console.log(`tds length:\t${tds.length}`);

and my results are:

ths length:	5
trs length:	3
tds length:	10

so all items are there

and I used cheerio version “1.0.0-rc.3” from npm.
