fix: package does not work in a mono repo

[trixobird]

Description

class-validator fails with TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'constructor') in a mono repo

Minimal code-snippet showcasing the problem I have created a repository for you: https://github.com/trixobird/class-validator-bug. If you do pnpm --filter=@repo/dto dev it works. If you do pnpm --filter=caller dev it does not.

Expected behavior

The pnpm --filter=caller dev should not produce any errror

Actual behavior

This error is being thrown:

Running into this as well. Did you ever come up with a solution?

I believe it's an issue with tsconfig not transforming the file, but no matter what I values I have in the tsconfig "include" I can't get it working from the package directory.

However if I run from the workspace root then it works,
