Current behavior

When I use ormconfig.json, I failed to connect

[Nest] 66836  - 08/06/2022, 10:43:44 PM   ERROR [TypeOrmModule] Unable to connect to the database. Retrying (1)...
MissingDriverError: Wrong driver: "undefined" given. Supported drivers are: "aurora-mysql", "aurora-postgres", "better-sqlite3", "capacitor", "cockroachdb", "cordova", "expo", "mariadb", "mongodb", "mssql", "mysql", "nativescript", "oracle", "postgres", "react-native", "sap", "sqlite", "sqljs", "spanner".

When I use it this way, I can connect successfully

import { Module } from '@nestjs/common';
import { TypeOrmModule } from '@nestjs/typeorm';

import { StockModule } from './stock/stock.module';

@Module({
  imports: [
    TypeOrmModule.forRoot({
      type: 'mysql',
      host: 'localhost',
      port: 3306,
      username: 'root',
      password: '123456',
      database: 'stock_picking',
      entities: ['dist/**/*.entity{.ts,.js}'],
      synchronize: true,
    }),
    StockModule,
  ],
})

I believe this isn't a bug but a misconfiguration. Also, the sandbox doesn't have any config on TypeOrmModule.forRoot() call

Read this if you want to use the latest version of TypeORM: https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/releases/tag/0.3.0

When I use ormconfig.json

TypeORM 0.3.0 dropped the support for an ormconfig file

[NenadJovicic]

Yup, I had same issue
I downgraded TypeORM package to version 0.2.38 and it is working
So, this means that this package does not support TypeORM above version 0.3
