Connecting to the database synchronously

Is it possible to connect to the database synchronously? For my app, there’s no issue with the current asynchronous method, but I’m running into weird timing issues. I wouldn’t want my app to run at all if the database is not ready, because it wouldn’t make sense. Also, I would like to create a connection once and reuse it in separate places, but this doesn’t seem to be officially supported.

The error message I get with the tests RepositoryNotFoundError: No repository for "Material" was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current "default" connection?

you simply need to figure out your problems and get know how to properly handle all async processes in node apps

you can create a QueryRunner which holds a single database connection and use it across the app. Use connection.createQueryRunner() for this purpose. And remember to release it once you done with it (using queryRunner.release method)

RepositoryNotFoundError: No repository for “Material” was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current “default” connection?

did you register your entity in “entity” section of connection config?
