NightwatchJS code generated in Snaptest.io not working in Nightwatch NPM test framework

I used snaptest.io chrome extension to record and automate a simple test to go to google , input a search . The test automates good using Snaptest chrome extension and NightwatchJS code is generated in the code section.

However this NightwatchJS code is not working when i use it as a homepage.js file in Nightwatch NPM framework .

This is the code generated in Snaptest chrome extension .

const TIMEOUT = 10000;
const random = "" + parseInt(Math.random() * 1000000);
const random1 = "" + parseInt(Math.random() * 1000000);
const random2 = "" + parseInt(Math.random() * 1000000);
const random3 = "" + parseInt(Math.random() * 1000000);

module.exports = {
  "Unnamed test": function(browser) {

Is this not the proper format that can be deployed in Nightwatch Test Framework?? Is it a syntax problem/error which i am missing .

I want the test code generated in Snaptest to work in NightwatchJS NPM test framework.

I use selenium standalone server 3.9.0 and chromewebdriver .

Suggestions. THANKS !
