I can't fetch the avatar of author through discord js

I want to fetch the avatar picture of the person who sends the message through a Discord bot. Like the author of the message.

This is my code: 

     case 'embed':

     const embed = new Discord.MessageEmbed() 

    .setAuthor(`From ${message.author.username}`, message.author.avatarURL)


    .setDescription("My Description");
          message.channel.send(embed);
     break;

It returns the author's username correctly through message.author.username but when I am using message.author.avatarURL it's not returning anything. I had tried to use message.author.defaultAvatarURL and it works perfectly. But I don't know why avatarURL doesn't show up anything.

In discord.js v12 User#avatarURL is a method, not a property, and so you need to call it to get the URL. You can also use User#displayAvatarURL to get the either the actual displayed avatar (it links to the default avatar if necessary). Here's an example:

.setAuthor(`From ${message.author.username}`, message.author.avatarURL())
.setAuthor(`From ${message.author.username}`, message.author.displayAvatarURL())
