• I mean, I have no experience with nest.js but the error specifically says, "Please make sure that the argument AuthService at index [1] is available in the UsersModule context" so put AuthService somewhere in your user.module.ts. Probably in the providers array after the UsersService – Nano Miratus Commented Sep 20, 2021 at 7:36

I'm going to make some assumptions about your service constructors, as you haven't provided those:

You have what looks to be a circular reference between the UserModule and the AuthModule. Because of this, in the imports of each module you need to use forwardRef of the module you're importing.

@Module({
  imports: [forwardRef(() => UserModule), ...rest],
  providers,
  controllers,
  exports
})
export class AuthModule {}

@Module({
  imports: [forwardRef(() => AuthModule), ...rest],
  providers,
  controllers,
  exports
})
export class UserModule {}

And speaking of exports above, you need to export a provider if you plan to use it outside of the module where it is in the providers (e.g. to use AuthService inside of UserService, the AuthModule needs to have providers: [AuthService] and exports: [AuthService]. This makes the provider available elsewhere.

Now, to make use of circular dependencies inside of the services, you also need to make use of forwardRef. In this case it will look like @Inject(forwardRef(() => OtherClass)) private readonly other: OtherClass, so you'd have something like

@Injectable()
export class UserService {
  constructor(
    @Inject(forwardRef(() => AuthService)) private readonly auth: AuthService,
    private readonly dep2: DependencyClass2
  ) {}

  // rest of values
}

You'll do the same thing in the AuthService but replacing AuthService in the @Inject() with UserService.

You need to import all the dependencies of UserService in UserModule. If you still can't figure out then please also add your user.service.ts file in the question.

You have to export the auth service in the authmodule in order to be able to inject it in the user service.
