@CreateDateColumn @UpdateDateColumn in MariaDb throwing ER_PARSE_ERROR for date values

See original GitHub issue

Issue type:

[x] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

[ ] cordova [ ] mongodb [ ] mssql [x] mysql / mariadb [ ] oracle [ ] postgres [ ] cockroachdb [ ] sqlite [ ] sqljs [ ] react-native [ ] expo

TypeORM version:

[x] latest [ ] @next [ ] 0.x.x (or put your version here)

Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

following a tuturial, but using mariadb 10.4.11 instead of postgres.

const conn = await createConnection({
		type: "mariadb",
		database: "test",
		username: "test",
		password: "test",
		logging: true,
		synchronize: true,
		entities: [User],
	});

Entity:

import { ObjectType, Field, Int } from "type-graphql";
import {
	BaseEntity,
	Column,
	CreateDateColumn,
	Entity,
	PrimaryGeneratedColumn,
	UpdateDateColumn,
} from "typeorm";

@ObjectType()
@Entity()
export class User extends BaseEntity {
	@Field(() => Int)
	@PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
	id!: number;

	@Field(() => String)
	@CreateDateColumn()
	createdAt = Date;

	@Field(() => String)
	@UpdateDateColumn()
	updatedAt = Date;

	@Field()
	@Column({ unique: true })
	username!: string;

	@Field()
	@Column({ unique: true })
	email!: string;

	@Column()
	password!: string;
}

Try to save a new user:

	const user = new User();
	user.username = options.username;
	user.password = hashedPassword;
	user.email = options.email;
	await user.save();

and am getting this in the logs:
