Current behavior

When creating a testing module using Test#createTestingModule method and importing a Module that has a circular dependency with another module(s) implemented using forwardRef, test fails with the following exception:

TypeError: Cannot read property 'module' of undefined

See the screen and the full exception text with a call stack in this gist

However the code itself compiles and works correctly. (see the screen)

Expected behavior

Tests should work

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Here is the repo of the example project. Just run yarn test:single to reproduce.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Can’t test the code containing the circular dependency.
