typescript - TypeORM throws "Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.ts(2589)" error on Repository typing

Question

After update to VSCode August 2019 (version 1.38) and Typescript 3.6 i'm getting a lot of Type instantiation is excessively deep and possibly infinite.ts(2589) on TypeORM repository initialization.

import { Connection, Repository, Entity, BaseEntity,  createConnection } from 'typeorm';

@Entity()
class MyEntity extends BaseEntity {
    public id: number;
}

class Test {
    async test() {
        const connection: Connection = await createConnection();
        const myRepo: Repository<MyEntity> = connection.getRepository(MyEntity); // only here cast the error above
    }
}

How can I ignore or fix them?

• VSCode v1.38.0 (user setup)
• Node.js v10.11.0
• Typescript v3.4.5
• TypeORM v0.2.18

I also noticed that the error is gone if the typing is removed : Repository<MyEntity>

There also is the "Excessive stack depth comparing types 'FindConditions<?>' and 'FindConditions<?>' error on the same line.

Update (23 September 2019):

This issue seems to have been fixed in Typescript version 3.6.3.
