More verbose message instead of "Unable to connect to the database" when something is wrong

Issue type:

[X] question [X] bug report [ ] feature request [ ] documentation issue

Database system/driver:

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

TypeORM version:

[ ] latest [ ] @next [x] 0.2.7 (or put your version here)

Steps to reproduce or a small repository showing the problem:

I’ve created a project with https://github.com/nestjs/nest Now when something is wrong with a credential or when I have an error in my entity file I got the error ‘Unable to connect to the database.’ instead of an error pointing to what is really wrong e.g. wrong credential, error in relationship between entities etc.

My suggestion is to make this more verbose so you know what is wrong. Now I literally have no clue where to look beside I know it has something to do with a many-to-one relationship

I also have the same problem. With npm run start it’s works fine for me, but with npm run start:dev i have error https://prnt.sc/o3l5dp.

I found my solution from this link. In your configuration, try changing src to dist:

"entities": ["dist/**/*.entity.js"]

我也有同样的问题。使用npm run start对我来说很好，但是使用npm run start：dev我有错误https://prnt.sc/o3l5dp。

我从此链接找到了解决方案。在您的配置中，尝试将src更改为dist：

"entities": ["dist/**/*.entity.js"]

thank you! it’s running
