Issue with JoinTable in NestJS + TypeORM

Question

I'm struggling with a weird issue in NestJS + TypeORM.

Pretty much I've created a ManyToMany relation in an entity and, on the owning side of the relation, I've added the @JoinTable() with no parameters.

After running nest build, the entity.js file adds a new import const browser_1 = require("typeorm/browser");, which, I found out, is used in declaring the JoinTable option in the compiled JS file => browser_1.JoinTable().

The issue is that, when using typeorm to generate a new migration file, I keep getting the following error:

import { __awaiter, __generator } from "tslib";
^^^^^^

SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module

Tracking down the issue, it seems to be related to this browser import that is being imported from ./node_modules/typeorm/browser/index.js

I'm using .env to configure typeorm, with the following:

TYPEORM_CONNECTION=postgres
TYPEORM_HOST=localhost
TYPEORM_USERNAME=xxxxx
TYPEORM_PASSWORD=xxxxx
TYPEORM_DATABASE=xxxx
TYPEORM_PORT=5432
TYPEORM_SYNCHRONIZE=false
TYPEORM_LOGGING=true
TYPEORM_DROP_SCHEMA=false
TYPEORM_MIGRATIONS_RUN=true
TYPEORM_ENTITIES=dist/modules/**/entity/*.js
TYPEORM_ENTITIES_DIR=src/modules/**/entity
TYPEORM_MIGRATIONS=dist/migrations/*.js
TYPEORM_MIGRATIONS_DIR=src/migrations
TYPEORM_MIGRATIONS_TABLE_NAME='orm_migrations'

This configuration has worked until I've introduced the ManyToMany relation and the JoinTable. As far as .tsconfig goes, I have:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es6",
    "module": "commonjs",
    "lib": [
      "dom",
      "es6",
      "dom.iterable",
      "esnext"
    ],
    "allowJs": true,
    "declaration": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "allowSyntheticDefaultImports": false,
    "strict": true,
    "forceConsistentCasingInFileNames": true,
    "noImplicitThis": true,
    "alwaysStrict": true,
    "noUnusedLocals": true,
    "noUnusedParameters": true,
    "noImplicitReturns": true,
    "noFallthroughCasesInSwitch": true,
    "sourceMap": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "baseUrl": "./",
    "incremental": true
  },
  "include": [
    "src"
  ]
}

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
