TypeORM repository not found in one method but found in another

Question

Im using TypeORM to connect to postgresql database in nodeJS. Im getting this weird issue where:

public static async organizationRelations(name){
    let connection = getConnection();

    const org = await connection.getRepository(Organization).find({
        where:[{name: name}]
    });
    return org;
}

works but this:

public static async importOrganizations(body){
    let connection = getConnection();
    let objs = {};


    let o = await connection.getRepository(Organization).save(this.createObjects(body, objs));

}

doesent.

For the method with save i keep getting error RepositoryNotFoundError: No repository for "Organization" was found. Looks like this entity is not registered in current "default" connection?

Why is it working in one function but not in another?

Answer 1

I got it working by doing this in mu App.ts

private async databaseConnection(){
await createConnection(options).then(connection =>{
  this.express.emit("app_started");
});

}

The issue was that i was using chai tests and the test started before app was fully initialized.
