No metadata for "User" was found

Question

Terminal Error HTTP Response Error

I'm having an error when i try to create an user using TypeORM and Nest.js

The error says: No metadata for "User" was found. EntityMetadataNotFoundError: No metadata for "User" was found.

I've tried everything i've seen that could be, downgraded TypeORM, changed the DataSource, changed the dir of enitities.

1. There is an issue with your UniqueEntityID type, which converts the id to an invalid type

2. In create-user.ts, you referred to the wrong model without using the Entity in the @InjectRepository method

@InjectRepository(UserEntity)

3. In your user.ts file, the static create method return a nested user object inside the user object

to avoid that you can simply used a user object

 const user = {
      name,
      email,
      password: hashedPassword,
    };

and for saving user to the db used save method. If you used create

create - Creates a new instance of User. Optionally accepts an object literal with user properties which will be written into newly created user object

Repository Create API

instead of that, use save method

4. In the database.module.ts file change entities: [UserEntity, MovieEntity]

5. In the http.module.ts file, change TypeOrmModule.forFeature([UserEntity, MovieEntity])

Because both of these modules refer to the Entities in Typeorm
