My team just ran into this issue. It's a pretty crucial bug, would be really nice to see this fixed. Our product does hotel bookings, and this caused some serious issues for us. |

| // Returns an empty string if the length is negative. | ||

This code isn't obvious to me. As I understood you are trying to remove quotes around enum strings by this code. But what if there are no quotes around? Wouldn't it remove regular characters from it?

We are facing the same issue. And waiting this fix to be included into main branch. Thanks. |

Just pass the entities in directly

I personally no longer use TypeORM, so if a more generalized solution is desired feel free to close this. |
Postgres returns values for enum arrays in formats like
{"Guild Master", Recruit}and are incorrectly converted to['"Guild Master"', 'Recruit' ].Potential issues arise depending on the fix implementation if the user wanted quotes in their enum. I utilized a dirty patch that removes the first and last characters from the string and determines if it's a valid enum.
