Error: Error: Configuration property <property_name> is not defined

Hi Everyone
I have a little problem and I don't know how to deal with it.
When I start the server, I get an error on the console- ERROR: Error reading "src/database/config/config.js". Error: Error: Configuration property "allowedNumerTypeToValidation" is not defined
Everything works, migartions, models, seeders after app mount...
Anyone have same problem ???
Any ideas?
😭

Hi 🤩,
After 2 hours of debugging, I found a solution.
In my project I am using the popular npm package - config, and it injects DB credential.
If someone has a similar problem, it should be add to your database/config/config.js file this:

const path = require("path");
process.env["NODE_CONFIG_DIR"] = path.resolve(__dirname, "../../config"); // Path to your config files
const config = require("config");

module.exports = {
  development: config.get("dbConfig"),
  test: config.get("dbConfig"),
  production: config.get("dbConfig"),
};
