Cannot get typeorm and mysql working

Hi, I followed the examples as best I could from the documentation, but no matter what I change I get this error:

No repository for "User" was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current "default" connection?

My database.providers.ts file looks like this

import {userProviders} from "../UserModule/user.providers";
import {User} from "../UserModule/user.entity";

export const databaseProviders = [
    {
        provide: 'DbConnectionToken',
        useFactory: async () => await createConnection({
            type: 'mysql',
            host: 'localhost',
            port: 3306,
            username: 'root',
            password: 'root',
            database: 'mydb',
            entities: [
                __dirname + '/../**/*.entity{.ts,.js}',
            ],
            synchronize: true
        }),
    },
];

I tried putting the User entity directly into the entities option, but that had no effect. I’ve also fiddled with that glob string about every which way possible. I’m completely out of ideas as to what to try.

Thanks for looking into it guys. I went through all the files again, and I finally found the discrepancy. I forgot to put the @Entity() annotation on the User object… my bad.

It does feel like this should throw a more specific error, but I imagine that has nothing to do with nestjs and only with the typeorm library.
