aurora-data-api-pg crashes with @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')

[abd1tus]

When an entity has uuid as a primary column

either:

@Entity()
export class Organization {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
  @Generated('uuid')
  id!: string; 

or:

@Entity()
export class ExampleEntity {
  @PrimaryGeneratedColumn('uuid')
  id!: string; 
...

then the following:

const connection = await createConnection({
  type: 'aurora-data-api-pg', 
  entities: [ExampleEntity],
 ...
});

fails with:

Removing the 'uuid' allows createConnection to succeed.

If I use:

const connection = await createConnection({
  type: 'postgres', 
  entities: [ExampleEntity],
 ...
});

with 'uuid' then createConnection also succeeds.

Hey, sorry for a late response. I think the reason for this lies within TypeORM. I will check it and let you know what's going on.

Found a reason for it, will hopefully be able to submit a PR to the TypeORM tomorrow.

@abd1tus
The PR is submitted here typeorm/typeorm#6404

The PR is merged, but you will need to wait for a new TypeORM release. Another option is to build the TypeORM yourself from a master branch.
