@Req still undefinied with reflect-metadata@^0.2

[small thistle]

Last week, I had a problem with the @normal gust object being undefined. I discovered that the issue was related to the reflect-metadata version not matching the one used by the typeorm package. To address this, I downgraded typeorm to version 0.3.19, which resolved the issue.

However, today, I encountered the same problem again, and unfortunately, the previous solution didn't work. After seeking help on the support channel, I learned of another solution that seemed to work for others: upgrading the reflect-metadata version to ^0.2.1. Despite trying this, my @normal gust body remains undefined.

  "dependencies": {
    "@hapi/joi": "^17.1.1",
    "@nestjs/common": "^10.3.3",
    "@nestjs/config": "^3.2.0",
    "@nestjs/core": "^10.3.3",
    "@nestjs/mapped-types": "^2.0.5",
    "@nestjs/platform-express": "^10.0.0",
    "@nestjs/platform-fastify": "^10.3.3",
    "@nestjs/typeorm": "^10.0.2",
    "class-transformer": "^0.5.1",
    "class-validator": "^0.14.1",
    "mysql2": "^3.9.2",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.2.1",
    "rxjs": "^7.8.1",
    "typeorm": "^0.3.20"
  },

Interesting. What's your package manager of choice?

[small thistle]

@odd bramble I use Yarn

[odd bramble]

yarn why reflect-metadata

Just to make sure there's only one version installed

Hmm seems fine. Any chance you can share the project then? this should probably be resolved from the known issues I'm aware of

[small thistle]

@odd bramble of course ! Here it is :

You realize I can't run this without a database, right?

[small thistle]

@odd bramble Ah, of course! my bad, I had my MySQL2 database locally. I just pushed a new version with SQLite persistence. No need for a database, just install the package and run the start script.

Okay, what endpoint do you hit?

I bet you can reproduce that without configuring typeorm, if it's an issue with @Body()

I tried to run your repro with no success by now

[small thistle]

POST /admins

I tried a minimum repro with all the dependencies like in your project but everything went fine
pretty weird

[small thistle]

The problem comes when we import TypeOrm into the app.module, if we don't put it there will be no problem the @Body will work fine

I had the same problem last week, and I found this solution (change the version of TypeORM) but now it still doesn't work

[restive leaf]

here this went fine as well 🤔

@small thistle do you mind on changing this project to try to reproduce it: https://gitlab.com/micalevisk/reflecting

Generally it works as I'm expecting it to. As your CreateAdminDto has no class-vadliator decorators it's coming in as {} due to the validation pipe
