Example code returns an empty array.

See original GitHub issue

I went through a debugging hell of things, until I realized that even your example will only return an empty array, at least on my computer. With a fresh install of Node 12, a new project initialized with npm init and just your dependency and your example code, I was not able to get ANY result what so ever.

Terminal Things.

➜  test node:(v12.16.1) npm start

> test@1.0.0 start /Users/alt/Documents/Code/_private/test
> node index.js
