applicationRef undefined in nest e2e tests

[lays147]

Hello,
I'm using nestjs-prisma in an application, and I have an e2e test failing when an exception is launched because the applicationRef inside this lib is undefined.

Steps to reproduce:

• Write an e2e test where you expect an exception to be raised using the findFirstOrThrow inside a nest service and call it through the controller.

Expected behavior:

The test passes without issues.

What is happening:

The exception is properly raised, however, the applicationRef is undefined making the test hang with:

    TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'isHeadersSent')

This issue does not happen in runtime.

Here is a thread on the NestJS discord server discussing about this bug.
