ColumnTypeUndefinedError: Column type for AccountEntity#type

[kiloz]

First of great product and kudos to the development team!

Following the instructions here: https://next-auth.js.org/adapters/typeorm#custom-models to define typeOrm entities in my own package, I find that I get the error:

error - ColumnTypeUndefinedError: Column type for AccountEntity#type is not defined and cannot be guessed. Make sure you have turned on an "emitDecoratorMetadata": true option in tsconfig.json. Also make sure you have imported "reflect-metadata" on top of the main entry file in your application (before any entity imported).If you are using JavaScript instead of TypeScript you must explicitly provide a column type.

however if I comment out [...nextauth].ts file so that the default next-auth entites are used it all works fine. In my local project I am using a copy of https://github.com/nextauthjs/adapters/blob/next/packages/typeorm-legacy/src/entities.ts to get started, so it should be the same as what is working by default.

...
import * as entities from '@/lib/entity/nextauth-entities'; // my local copy of 'entities.ts'
...
export default NextAuth({
  // Use the database to persist user, and session info
  adapter: TypeORMLegacyAdapter(connection), // , { entities }),

The next-auth default works, creates DB tables and so on, and my local copy complains of a type error. After searching, I was not able to find any leads, or at least things I haven't tried. Perhaps the instructions are missing some crucial detail? Please advise.
