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?
