'Too many clients' error when using NestJS and Jest even with a singleton Service
Is there a canonical example of how to create a PrismaService that can be used with Jest to do integration testing?
I'm getting 'too many client' errors even with a PrismaService that uses a global client and using --runInBand.
Does anybody have a exmaple of how to configure a PrismaService to use with NestJS and Jest?

Did you follow the example mentioned in this guide?

How to implement unit and integration testing with Prisma ORM
@Nurul (Prisma) Thank you for the link.
My issue is with running many integration tests in NestJS in quick succession.
Individually they run fine but when run as a complete test suite eventually I get a 'too many clients' error.
I suspect the issue is with setup and teardown but I'm running out of places to look 🙂
If somebody else ever looks at this in the future, the issue was the Prisma client was being re-created in each
beforeEach rather than once in beforeAll and then rebuilding the testing module
