Error: Object metadata not found after adding many-to-many relationships - typeorm

Question

I need to have additional properties for many-to-many relationships, I created a new entity myself as shown in the documentation.
https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/blob/master/docs/many-to-many-relations.md#many-to-many-relations-with-custom-properties
It's user entity.
import { Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column, OneToMany } from 'typeorm';
import { ShareTask } from './../../share-taks/entity/share-taks.entity';
#Entity('users')
export class User {
#PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
public id: number;
#Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: false })
public email: string;
#Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: false })
public password: string;
#OneToMany(() => ShareTask, (shareTask: ShareTask) => shareTask.user)
public shareTask: ShareTask[];
}
It's task entity.
import { Entity, Column, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, OneToMany } from 'typeorm';
import { ShareTaks } from './../../share-taks/entity/share-taks.entity';
#Entity('tasks')
export class Taks {
#PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
public id: number;
#Column({ type: 'varchar', nullable: false, length: 50 })
public title: string;
#OneToMany(() => ShareTaks, (shareTaks: ShareTaks) => shareTaks.taks)
public shareTaks: ShareTaks[];
}
It's ormconfig.json.
{
"type": "mysql",
"host": "localhost",
"port": 3306,
"username": "root",
"password": "7047",
"database": "db",
"entities": ["dist/**/*.entity{.ts,.js}"],
"synchronize": true
}
It's ShareTaks entity.
import { Entity, PrimaryGeneratedColumn, Column, ManyToOne } from 'typeorm';
import { User } from './../../users/entity/user.entity';
import { Taks } from './../../taks/entity/taks.entity';
#Entity('shareTasks')
export class shareTask {
#PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
public id: number;
#Column({ type: 'integer', nullable: false })
public taskId: number;
#Column({ type: 'integer', nullable: false })
public userId: number;
#ManyToOne(() => (task: Task) => task.shareTask, { cascade: ['insert', 'update', 'remove'] })
public task: Task;
#ManyToOne(() => (user: User) => user.shareTask, { cascade: ['insert', 'update', 'remove'] })
public user: User;
}
Before I made a many-to-many relationship, everything worked well. When I added a many-to-many relationship, I get an error.
Error: Entity metadata for ShareTask#task was not found. Check if you specified a correct entity object and if it's connected in the connection options.
Because of what I get an error, I can’t understand.
I found some answers to my question, but they did not help me.
Entity metadata for Role#users was not found

Answer 1

Likely, the error is caused by the path you provided in the entities in ormconfig file. Try changing it to a relative path from the current directory, something like
"entities": [__dirname + "/../**/*.entity{.ts,.js}"]

Answer 2

I resolved this by exporting from an index, and then importing from that index in both my User and Role file. When I was importing directly from the class files I was getting the this error.
Error during server startup TypeORMError: Entity metadata for User#role_id was not found. Check if you specified a correct entity object and if it's connected in the connection options.
My guess is that the strict equals (===) is colliding with a cache and thinking that the different relative import paths refer to different classes.
src/entities/index.ts:
import Team from "./Team";
import Role from "./Role";
import User from "./User";
export { Team, Role, User };
DataService.ts (where the datasources are defined)
import { Role, Team, User } from "../entities";
...
entities: [Role, Team],
...
src/entities/User.ts
import { Team, Role } from "../entities";
...
#Column()
#IsNotEmpty()
#ManyToOne(() => Role, (role) => role.id)
role_id: number;
