How to use rawCollection in a Meteor publish function

I'm trying to use rawCollection in a Meteor 1.8.1 publish function, based on the example here. Instead of returning the distinct values, I want to return a regular cursor containing all my documents. This is so I can later use collation to implement a case-insensitive sort.

However when I subscribe to the publication below, I get the following error:

Publish function can only return a Cursor or an array of Cursors

But the console log in the server prints out the following:

result Cursor {
I20191107-11:44:26.485(0)?   pool: null,
I20191107-11:44:26.485(0)?   server: null,
I20191107-11:44:26.485(0)?   disconnectHandler: 
...

So, it appears that my code is producing a Cursor, but the publish function doesn't like it.

Here's my code:

publications.js:

const raw = MyCollection.rawCollection();
raw.findme = Meteor.wrapAsync(raw.find);

Meteor.publish('mycollection', function() {
    const result = raw.findme({});
    console.log('result', result);
    return result;
});

Any idea what I'm doing wrong? Thank you!

I think this code will do the job

Meteor.publish('mycollection', async function() {
    const result = await MyCollection.rawCollection().find({});
    console.log('result', result.fetch());
    return result;
});

Hope it will help :)
