autoLoadEntities does not work when using Test.createTestingModule

ts-jest detection will land soon hopefully, related PR adding support for detecting ts-jest: kulshekhar/ts-jest#2717

Hello! any news on that? from what i'm reading in the module code it would be because this line:

 const key = (preferTsNode && this.config.get('tsNode', Utils_1.Utils.detectTsNode()) && this.config.get('entitiesTs').length > 0) ? 'entitiesTs' : 'entities';

returns "entities" instead of "entitiesTs". Would it come from the fact that jest config says ts-jest
I'm not sure if there's a way around to enforce ts node in a test config, i see the preferTsNode value there 🤔

[B4nan]

You can control that just by passing tsNode: true to the ORM config - that way the detection is skipped and entitiesTs will be used.

[anlauren]

Beautiful i'll try this out!

Works nicely!
Don't know if it's worth mentioning somewhere in the docs for people using jest in that way 🤔

Closing, should work out of box with ts-jest 27.0.4+ and MikroORM v4.5.9+

tried ts-node: true in the latest, though I'm not actually certain that's what we're doing. didn't work, same problem. Feels like a hokey fix though.
