Spec generated by tsoa giving error

[AmitThakkar]

Describe the bug We are using tsoa for generating OpenAPI specs(https://tsoa-community.github.io/docs/generating.html#using-cli) and it is working fine. But when I try to use express-openapi-validator I get below error:

ERROR in apps/api/src/main.ts:40:5

    38 | app.use(
    39 |   OpenApiValidator.middleware({

       |     ^^^^^^^
    41 |     validateResponses: true,
    42 |   })
    43 | );

I checked swagger.json(generated by tsoa) that also seems fine:

...
                            "get": {
                "operationId": "FindAll",
                "responses": {
                    "200": {
                        "description": "Ok",
                        "content": {
                            "application/json": {
                                "schema": {
                                    "items": {
                                        "$ref": "#/components/schemas/UserDto"
                                    },
                                    "type": "array". <===  This line giving me error
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },
                "security": [],
                "parameters": []
            }

try casting the value as any as a workaround the issue. let me know if it works properly. assuming so, we'll have to look at the typescript types

apiSpec: <any> swaggerJson,
