Search tweets not working properly

[bio1oo1]

after successful scraper login, I am trying to search tweets, but it's just returning empty object
here is my basic code

await this.scraper.login(
          process.env.TWITTER_USERNAME!,
          process.env.TWITTER_PASSWORD!,
          process.env.TWITTER_EMAIL!,
          process.env.TWITTER_2FA_SECRET!,
          process.env.TWITTER_API_KEY!,
          process.env.TWITTER_API_SECRET_KEY!,
          process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN!,
          process.env.TWITTER_ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET!
        );
const mentions = await this.scraper.searchTweets(
          '#nodejs', 20, SearchMode.Latest
        );
console.log("mentions", mentions);

In my console, it's just mentions Object [AsyncGenerator] {}

	export async function* getTweetTimeline(
	query: string,
	maxTweets: number,
	fetchFunc: FetchTweets,
	): AsyncGenerator<Tweet, void> {
	let nTweets = 0;
	let cursor: string | undefined = undefined;
	while (nTweets < maxTweets) {
	const batch: FetchTweetsResponse = await fetchFunc(
	query,
	maxTweets,
	cursor,
	);
	const { tweets, next } = batch;
	if (tweets.length === 0) {
	break;
	}
	for (const tweet of tweets) {
	if (nTweets < maxTweets) {
	cursor = next;
	yield tweet;
	} else {
	break;
	}
	nTweets++;
	}
	}
	}

Because this function returns a Generator, so you have to iterate over it to get the result.

For example:

for (const mention of mentions) {
  console.log(mention);
};

@abcfy2
I tried that as well, and it's returning an error saying TypeError: mentions is not iterable

Oh sorry, it's an AsyncGenerator, so you have to use await in your for loop iterator:

// remove await because 'await' has no effect on the type of this expression
const mentions = this.scraper.searchTweets(
          '#nodejs', 20, SearchMode.Latest
        );

for await (const mention of mentions) {
  console.log(mention);
};
