I'm following the documentation and pointing it to the `src/entity/*.js` location, but i keep getting the following error when running my server.spec.ts file through mocha: [code block] I've posted a sample repo here: https://github.com/rightisleft/public-error https://github.com/rightisleft/public-error/blob/master/server/test/server.spec.ts#L29 I've been reading the documentation at https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/issues/420 but have been unable to resolve the problem. Please advise. Checklist: Using reflect-metadata in spec Using "emitDecoratorMetadata": true, "experimentalDecorators": true in tsconfig.json Using 'entries' delcaration in ormconfig.yml
