Why can't I call an array method on a function's arguments?

Question

I have a function that can accept any number of arguments...

const getSearchFields = () => {        
    const joined = arguments.join(\'/\'); 
};

If you are using jQuery 1.2+, you can use $.makeArray():

Convert an array-like object into a true JavaScript array.

From the example in the question, just use this line

var args = $.makeArray(arguments);
