Current behavior

Trying to read MongoDB database using TypeORM's BaseEntity.find() throws error Cannot read 'prototype' of undefined

Expected behavior

To get an array of objects/models

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

• Insert data into database using TypeORM BaseEntity methods,
• Try to get read using both Mongo connection manager and TypeORM's BaseEntity class method .find()

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Downgrading the TypeORM version to below v4 (3.x.x) will fix the issue until TypeORM supports the version 4 of mongo driver.

Environment

Nest version: 7.6.16
 
For Tooling issues:
- Node version: 14.16.1 
- Platform:  Linux (Arch)

Others:

IDE: WebStorm
Package Manager: npm
Additional: Inserting data using BaseEntity.create().save() works fine but read ops does not work such as BaseEntity.find()
