Mikro-Orm not creating a sqlite table - nestjs

Question

I am using mikro-orm in nestjs to create a sqlite database. For some reason, Mikro-Orm will create the database file(sandox.sqlite3) but will not create tables in the database. I have created a task module with entities.
App Module:
#Module({
imports: [
MikroOrmModule.forRoot({
entities: ['./dist/**/entities/*'],
entitiesTs: ['./src/**/entities/*'],
dbName: 'sandbox.sqlite3',
type: 'sqlite',
}),
TasksModule,
],
controllers: [AppController],
providers: [AppService],
})
export class AppModule {}
TaskModule:
#Module({
imports: [MikroOrmModule.forFeature([Task])],
controllers: [TasksController],
providers: [TasksService],
})
export class TasksModule {}
Task Service:
When i make a post request to create, A 201 response is received back along with the data that i sent. But there is not table created in the database.
#Injectable()
export class TasksService {
constructor(
#InjectRepository(Task)
private readonly taskRepository: EntityRepository<Task>,
) {}
create(createTaskDto: CreateTaskDto) {
console.log(createTaskDto.name);
return this.taskRepository.create({ ...createTaskDto });
}
findAll() {
return this.taskRepository.findAll();
}
findOne(id: number) {
return this.taskRepository.findOne({ id });
}
async update(id: number, updateTaskDto: UpdateTaskDto) {
const task = await this.taskRepository.findOne({ id });
task.name = updateTaskDto.name ?? task.name;
task.description = updateTaskDto.description ?? task.description;
task.assign({ id });
// return this.taskRepository.(task);
}
remove(id: number) {
// return this.taskRepository.removeAndFlush();
}
}
Task Entity:
#Entity()
export class Task extends BaseEntity<Task, 'id'> {
#PrimaryKey()
id: number;
#Property()
name: string;
#Property()
description: string;
}

You need to sync the database manually, either via SchemaGenerator or via migrations. If you have CLI set up, you can do npx mikro-orm schema:update --run
