In the typeORM documentation a cli parameter can be added to DataSourceOptions according to https://github.com/typeorm/typeorm/blob/master/docs/data-source-options.md. The example I saw on https://typeorm.io/using-cli looks was
{
cli: {
entitiesDir: "src/entity",
subscribersDir: "src/subscriber",
migrationsDir: "src/migration"
}
}
I tried this in my code as follows:
let dataSource = new DataSource(
{
type: 'postgres',
host: 'localhost',
port: 5432,
database: 'website',
username: 'test',
password: 'test',
logging: true,
synchronize: false,
entities: [User, Posts],
cli: {
entitiesDir: "src/entity",
subscribersDir: "src/subscriber",
migrationsDir: "src/migration"
}
})
However I get the following error:
Argument of type '{ type: "postgres"; host: string; port: number; database: string; username: string; password: string; logging: true; synchronize: false; entities: (typeof User | typeof Wallet)[]; cli: { entitiesDir: string; subscribersDir: string; migrationsDir: string; }; }' is not assignable to parameter of type 'DataSourceOptions'.
Object literal may only specify known properties, and 'cli' does not exist in type 'PostgresConnectionOptions'.ts(2345)
I had the same problem. To solve this issue, you can simply remove the cli key from the Datasource options and specify the path when creating a new migration
typeorm migration:create -n UrlMigration -d src/migrations
-d option is used to specify the directory where your migration will be created
"scripts": {
...
"typeorm": "typeorm-ts-node-commonjs -d ormconfig.ts"
}
NB : Replace ormconfig.ts with your datasource filename
refer to TypeORM CLI help
TypeORM and TypeORM CLI not works perfectly after 0.3.0. I had the same problem, so I advice you to downgrade to version 0.2
