ts-node throwing RepositoryNotFoundError

Here is the example repo. https://github.com/zackarychapple/flagger

When I am starting the server with nodemon everything initializes correctly however when seed tries to run it bombs out with the below error. I tried several paths for mapping to my entities however it seems none of them pick up. Any thoughts?

(node:99829) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): RepositoryNotFoundError: No repository for "FlagsEntity" was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current "default" connection?
(node:99829) DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

I also had the same No repository for ... in current "default" connection and it worked fine for development (running with nodemon), but failed after tsc compilation running under node. I had to change:

entities: [
          __dirname + '/../**/**.entity.ts'
 ],

to:

entities: [
          __dirname + '/../**/**.entity{.ts,.js}'
 ],

I see a reference to this in the typeorm docs, is this the prescribed way for dealing with entities in typescript? (https://typeorm.github.io/connection.html#creating-connection)

no, it depends how you run your app. If you are running via ts-node then you can use “.ts” files as entities. If you aren’t using ts-node then you must specify “.js” files. And you need to make sure to specify proper output directory (if you are using outDir tsc option) to ensure paths to your generated js files are correct.
