cli: Expected to find a symbol error when creating an API

[Draykee]

Describe the bug I get an error trying to create an API:

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create Plugin
2. Create Entity (Translatable)
3. Create Service (CRUD)
4. Create API

I'm using vendure v2.2.2 (also CLI) and "@vendure-plus/advanced-search-plugin": "1.6.0"

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Environment (please complete the following information):

• @vendure/core version: 2.2.3
• @vendure/cli version: 2.2.3
• Nodejs version: v18.19.0
• Database (mysql/postgres etc): postgres 16

Additional context I have many other plugins and dependencies, but most of them align exactly with the ones used by vendure.

Are you performing all 4 steps in 1 single CLI session? And can you confirm which version you are on - you mentioned both v2.2.2 and v2.2.3 above.

[Draykee]

I'm using v2.2.3 and I did it in multiple session, to already add properties to the entity. I assume the CLI can't find the service:

Did you make any changes to the service before attempting to create the API?

If you are able to reproduce this from a clean install, please tell me the exact steps to reproduce. I'm lacking a bit of information currently.
