Route param does not appear in Swagger UI when handler's argument has non-primitive type

[quallrum]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

Let's assume we have a route param that we obtain in the route handler using @Param() decorator on the handler's argument. If that argument has non-primitive type (i.e. we use entity resolving pipe) then that param does not appear in the Swagger UI. But it works well if argument type has primitive type, even object.

That code will render id route param properly in Swagger UI:

import { Controller, Get, Param } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ApiParam } from '@nestjs/swagger';

@Controller('/test/:id')
@ApiParam({
    name: 'id',
})
export class TestController {
    @Get('/')
    public test(@Param('id') qwerty: string) {}
}

At the same time, the following example will not show any route params:

import { Controller, Get, Param } from '@nestjs/common';
import { ApiParam } from '@nestjs/swagger';
import { User } from './path/to/user.entity';

@Controller('/test/:id')
@ApiParam({
    name: 'id',
})
export class TestController {
    @Get('/')
    public test(@Param('id') qwerty: User) {}
}

Also works if i use object as argument type and does not when using any class

Steps to reproduce

No response

Expected behavior

It is expected for route params to appear in Swagger UI no matter what types they have in route handlers. A possible solution may be to prefer type from @ApiParam() decorator's options, if provided, over the argument type.
