Can't call methods from @Inject class using typescript-io.

[hs-wolf]

Hi, I have a very simple project setup, with Nx as mono repo solution and a barebones Express app.

The app has 1 controller and 1 service, I tried following Tsoa's official guide on how to implement typescript-ioc: https://tsoa-community.github.io/docs/di.html#typescript-ioc

Even though the routes and app are being built, and the app is being served correctly, I get an error when calling methods from an injected class.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to call methods from a class using the @Inject decorator.

My base tsconfig.ts file has the decorator properties set.

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
  }
}

Current Behavior

When calling a method from a class using the @Inject decorator I get the error bellow. It's not very informative and I couldn't find a similar error that matched my case.

TypeError: Invalid type requested to IoC container. Type is not defined.

Possible Solution

Maybe a configuration or package/package version that I'm missing?

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone repo.

   git clone --single-branch --branch template-name https://github.com/hs-wolf/nx-monorepo-templates.git

2. Install pnpm

   npm install -g pnpm

3. Install packages

   pnpm install

4. Run Express App

   npx nx run express-api:serve:development

5. Open http://localhost:3000/docs/
6. Find the users/{userId} endpoint, open It and try any number as the Id to call the service.
7. Back to VSCode terminal to see the error.

Context (Environment)

Version of the library:

"@tsoa/runtime": "^5.0.0"
