[ArtuGit]

After upgrading Nest.js to v11 /admin path return 404 error. It works with Nest.js 10.

Hi, I also facing the same issue, I found out that it will need to await this.loader.register at onModuleInit in admin.module.ts, but I not familiar on how to contribute to the github code

We are experiencing the same and couldn't find a solution for this yet

I am also facing the same issue after upgrade to Nestjs v11

Not worth considering if you are on Nest 11.

Adding await in admin.moule.js file before this.loader.register helps

I think more steps are required. I can access /admin but my server can't find the assets (I added await before this.loader.register)

GET http://localhost:4010/admin/frontend/assets/global.bundle.js net::ERR_ABORTED 500 (Internal Server Error)Understand this error
GET http://localhost:4010/admin/frontend/assets/design-system.bundle.js net::ERR_ABORTED 500 (Internal Server Error)Understand this error
GET http://localhost:4010/admin/frontend/assets/app.bundle.js net::ERR_ABORTED 500 (Internal Server Error)

I really wanted to check whether routes of AdminJS are registered correctly, but there is no way to list all routes including sub routes in Express@5.

Here's what I did to get this working for my own project because I need it quick. I made these changes a while ago, so I might be missing some details, but this is the general approach:

1. added the await keyword as suggested in the previous comment.
2. removed use of formidable.js because it conflicted with the body parser in NestJS 11.
3. switched to the built-in NestJS parser by adding app.set('query parser', 'extended'); to main.ts.
4. updated the code to use req.body instead of (req as any).fields to access parsed data from the express loader.

I have a custom ExpressLoader in my app and used the same route reordering logic as in src/loaders/express.loader.ts. After upgrading to NestJS 11, all my custom AdminJS route handlers stopped working.

The issue was that code in ExpressLoader#reorderRoutes expects an undocumented _router field, but newer versions of Express only provide the router field. Once I replaced _router with router, everything started working again.

I finally make it work thanks to @grokhotun and @McMerph comments. Also I have to put global.bundle.js, design-system.bundle.js app.bundle.js components.bundle.js to CDN instead of local file system, so that I can load them in any environment.

Hi, i don't understand how you manage to fix the express issue ?

Hi, i don't understand how you manage to fix the express issue ?

Go to a node_modules/@adminjs/nestjs/build/admin.module.js file in your node_modules folder, find this line

// some code before

this.loader.register(admin, httpAdapter, {
  ...this.adminModuleOptions,
  adminJsOptions: admin.options
});
// some code after

and add await right before it so it would be

// some code before
await this.loader.register(admin, httpAdapter, {
  ...this.adminModuleOptions,
  adminJsOptions: admin.options
});
// some code after

Thank you, this is what fixed it for me!

For those that want to patch it, edit build/loaders/express.loader.js and change any reference of _router to router.

I'm submitting a PR as well.
