Nest not working with ts-transformer-keys - node.js

Question

I'm trying to use ts-transformation-keys in my Nest application.
I started a new application using a template from this repository, and my machine is running with windows 10.
As described in the ts-transformation-keys documentation, i added the following configuration in the tsconfig.json file:
{
"compilerOptions": {
"module": "commonjs",
"declaration": false,
"removeComments": true,
"emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
"experimentalDecorators": true,
"esModuleInterop": true,
"allowSyntheticDefaultImports": true,
"target": "ES2017",
"sourceMap": true,
"outDir": "./dist",
"baseUrl": "./",
"incremental": true,
"plugins": [
{ "transform": "ts-transformer-keys/transformer" },
]
},
"exclude": [
"node_modules",
"dist",
"graphql",
"onboard"
]
}
That's my package.json file:

}
So, here's the problem:
i already ran these scripts:
npm i -g #nestjs/cli
npm install
npm build
npm start:debug
All these things worked well... But when i'm trying to use the ts-transformation-keys it doesn't work.
I added this small piece of code in the src/app.module.ts:
class myTestClass
{
id : string;
name : string;
}
let test = keys<myTestClass>()
Then i got this error:
TypeError: ts_transformer_keys_1.keys is not a function
at Object.<anonymous> (C:\Repos\EDM\backend\dist\app.module.js:26:34)

It's generating this javascript code:
[...]
const ts_transformer_keys_1 = require("ts-transformer-keys");
class myTestClass {
}
let test = ts_transformer_keys_1.keys();
[...]
Does anyone know what is wrong in my configuration?
I already tried to use different versions of ts-transformation-keys, but looks like Nest is not loading the custom transform described in tsconfig.json file.
