Actual behavior or outcome (for issue)

all settings get the default values instead

Context

Trying to replace the stock nestjs/config library withnestjs-config to enable config reload at runtime

Replication/Example

// src/config/config.ts (simplified)
export default {
  port: parseInt(process.env?.PORT ?? '3821'),
  timezone: 'Europe/Brussels',
}

// src/app.module.ts (simplified)
import { Global, Module } from '@nestjs/common'
import { DataAccessModule } from './data-access.module'
import { LogModule } from './log.route/log.module'
import { ApplicationController } from './application.route/application.controller'

import * as path from 'path'
import { ConfigModule } from 'nestjs-config'

const configPath = path.resolve(__dirname, 'config', 'config.js')
console.log(configPath)  // this outputs C:\Users\lcartreul\Documents\projecten\log-server\dist\src\config\config.js which is correct

@Global()
@Module({
  imports: [DataAccessModule.register(), LogModule, ConfigModule.load(configPath)],
  controllers: [ApplicationController],
  providers: [],
  exports: [DataAccessModule],
})
export class AppModule {}

import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core'
import { AppModule } from './app.module'
import { ConfigService } from 'nestjs-config'

async function bootstrap() {
  const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule)
  const config = app.get<ConfigService>(ConfigService)
  const port = config.get('port', 3822)

  await app.listen(port)
  console.log(`Listening on port ${port}`)
  // Here `3822` is returned instead of the expected `3821`
}
bootstrap()

same here, how is this still happening

edit:

I figured it out

try this inside your bootstrap():

const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
await app.init();

const config = app.get(ConfigService);
await app.listen(config.port || 5000);
