Running into a weird typescript compiling error

[Jberma23]

My factory class

export class UserFactory extends Factory<User> {
    protected entity = User;
    protected dataSource = AppDataSource;
    firstName = faker.person.firstName();
    lastName = faker.person.lastName();
    protected attrs(): FactorizedAttrs<User> {
        return {
            firstName: this.firstName,
            lastName: this.lastName,
            email: faker.internet.email({ firstName: this.firstName, lastName: this.lastName, provider: 'test' }),
            username: faker.internet.userName({ firstName: this.firstName, lastName: this.lastName }),
            password: faker.internet.password(),
            // owner: new LazyInstanceAttribute((instance) => new SingleSubfactory(UserFactory, { pets: [instance] })),
        };
    }
}

My seed class

export class CreateUsers implements Seeder {
    public async run(dataSource: DataSource) {
        const CreatedUsers = await new UserFactory().makeMany(10);
        const users: User[] = CreatedUsers;
        await dataSource.manager.save<User>(users);
    }
}

My Entity Class

@Entity()
export class User {
    @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
    id: number;

    @Column({ nullable: true })
    firstName?: string;

    @Column({ nullable: true })
    lastName?: string;

    @Length(3)
    @Column({ unique: true })
    username: string;

    @IsEmail()
    @Column({ nullable: false })
    email: string;

    @Column({ nullable: false, select: false })
    password?: string;

    public static create(options: Partial<User>) {
        const user = new User();

        return Object.assign(user, options);
    }
}

My data-source.ts:

const connectionConfig = {
    host: getEnvVar('POSTGRES_HOST'),
    port: Number(getEnvVar('POSTGRES_PORT')),
    username: getEnvVar('POSTGRES_USER'),
    password: getEnvVar('POSTGRES_PASSWORD'),
    database: getEnvVar('POSTGRES_DB'),
};

export const getDataSource = () => {
    return new DataSource({
        type: 'postgres',
        ...connectionConfig,
        synchronize: false,
        logging:
            process.env.NODE_ENV !== 'production' &&
            process.env.DEBUG === 'true',
        entities: [User, Provider, Pet],
        // TODO (task #27) needs to work after build with js files as well
        migrations: [join(__dirname, 'migrations/*.ts')],
        subscribers: [],
    });
};

export const AppDataSource = getDataSource();

export const entityManager = AppDataSource.manager;

The NPM script im running is "seed:run": "ts-node -r tsconfig-paths/register ./../../node_modules/@jorgebodega/typeorm-seeding/dist/cli.js seed -d src/data-source.ts src/seeds/*.ts"

The Error im getting:

nx run backend:seed:run

> nx run backend:"seed:run"

Checking the error that you have... Are you sure this is related to this library? Seems like you have some kind of problems with the entity, and maybe you should check that before. Or maybe is something related to TypeORM itself
