PR with test case: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/pull/8024

Expected Behavior

      await getRepository(WorkspaceMemberEntity).update(
        {
          user: {
            id: createdWorkspace.createdById!,
          },
          workspace: {
            id: createdWorkspace.id,
          },
        },
        {
          role: WorkspaceMemberRole.MEMBER,
        }
      );

It should update the table.

Actual Behavior

Error: Cannot find alias for relation at user.

I still need WorkspaceEntity, UserEntity, and BaseEntity to replicate this.

Alternatively, a test case that’s minimal & still exhibits this issue would be more helpful.

Is there a repository I can clone to easily set this up?

Edit: I have found the instructions at https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/blob/master/DEVELOPER.md

Hi,

I will be able to continue my investigation / tweak the test case to hopefully reproduce the issue starting next Tuesday.
