Runtime error using JoinTableOptions on @ManyToMany

Question

Having trouble trying to define a custom JoinTable on a ManyToMany relation in TypeORM.

Environment:

• Node 16.13.0
• TS 4.7.4
• TypeORM 0.3.10

  @ManyToMany(() => Series)
  @JoinTable({
    name: 'tv_group_series',
    inverseJoinColumn: {
      referencedColumnName: 'id',
      name: 'tv_group_id'
    },
    joinColumn: {
      referencedColumnName: 'id',
      name: 'series_id'
    }
  })
  shows: Series[];

Without the @JoinTable options provided above, the app runs, but when I add it I get the following error at runtime:

Uncaught M:\Code\MediaMogul\MediaMogulTwo\node_modules\typeorm\browser\index.js:3

The "TypeORMManager.ts:22" line is just the import statement for the class. I wish there was a more descriptive error at the very least, and would love advice on how to get one. Clearly there's something gone wrong with the reflection on those decorators, but I can't debug what. It looks a lot like the working examples I've seen online.

Elsewhere in my code, I have working @Columns, @OneToMany, @ManyToOne relations, all with custom options as well.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to debug this?

Thanks!

Nevermind. It turns out WebStorm auto-imported JoinTable from 'typeorm/browser' instead of 'typeorm'. Changed that, and it runs without issue.
