Express 5 with Inversify Express Utils

[jan-wuebbels]

Summary:

With the release of Express 5 there is a breaking change how wildcards are handled with https://github.com/pillarjs/path-to-regexp.
Express has a migration guide for possible troubleshooting : https://expressjs.com/en/guide/migrating-5.html#path-syntax.

Issue:

inversify-express-utils uses a *-wildcard route inside the build-method of the server.ts which results in an error when starting the inversify server.

Error: Uncaught TypeError: Missing parameter name at 1: https://git.new/pathToRegexpError

Code:

inversify-express-utils/src/server.ts

Line 126 in 2e9e2b0

this._app.all('*', (req: Request, res: Response, next: NextFunction) => {

Possible Solution:

Maybe add a name to the matching like the migration guide recommends?

I am also having some errors when migrating from express 4.x.x to 5.x.x

I have similar issue, any plan to add this feature to next version?

Keep in mind the packages are not properly released, so you stil cannot use them. This tools will provide support for express 4, express 5, fastify and hono
