Had the same problem, but I think I solved it!

It seems that when using express-promise-router, you have to pass a string to the @get() (or any) decorator.

e.g. this returns 404 for GET /docs

@Get()
async getArray(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const docs = await this.docsService.getArray();
    res.json(docs.map(this.docMapper.toDto));
}

But when you pass an empty string to the decorator, it works!

@Get('') // pass '' if the route takes no params
async getArray(req: Request, res: Response) {
    const docs = await this.docsService.getArray();
    res.json(docs.map(this.docMapper.toDto));
}

I don't know where the issue lies exactly, but this seems to have solved it for me.
