NestFactory.create never return or throw on error #15245
Description
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current behavior
When we call NestFactory.create with a provider that throw an error, the function never return or throw.
Minimum reproduction code
https://github.com/LaGregance/nestjs-create-never-returns
Steps to reproduce
The reproduction repository add a typeorm connection on the app.module using TypeOrmModule.forRoot, because the database doesn't exists, we see an error in the console (firsts errors are from TypeOrmModule because the module retry the connection, last error is on ExceptionHandler).
The point here is the NestFactory.create function never return in that case and we have no way to manage error (such error in production may need to be send to a monitoring system, especially when using multiple application instances).
This is the main.ts so you can understand the point:
async function bootstrap() {
try {
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
console.log('[CREATED] This never happen');
await app.listen(process.env.PORT ?? 3000);
} catch (error) {
console.log('[CATCH] This never happen');
console.error(error);
}
console.log('[END] This never happen');
}
bootstrap();Expected behavior
The NestFactory.create should throw the error.
