"Match error: Expected Collection", path: ""

[krit-gpt]

I am getting an error, while I try to create an index in a separate indexes.js file. The exact line where I create an index causes the error. The exact error is as follows:

The exact line where I create an index causes the error.

import { Index, MinimongoEngine } from 'meteor/easy:search';
import Companies from './companies.js';

// On Client and Server
export const CompaniesIndex = new Index({
  collection: Companies,
  fields: ['name'],
  engine: new MinimongoEngine()
});

I read about the similar issue, and still cant figure out what to do in order to rectify this, and that thread was closed. Hence, had to open a new issue. Please tell me what to do in order to rectify this. Thanks.

Is companies a Meteor.Collection? The error states what is happening (a match error).

If yes, a reproduction repo or more code would be very helpful.
