Get a reference to knex client in feathers app

Question

How can I get a reference to knexClient that the app uses, when I have a test.js file that exports multiple functions? For instance, test.js could be used to perform scheduled operations to the database and it's not part of a service.

    module.exports = {

      const knex = app.get('knexClient');

      doThings: function (params) {  
       //I NEED KNEX HERE
       return something;
      },

      doThings2: function () {
        return somethingElse
      }
    };

In a generated application src/app.js (see here) exports the app object:

const app = require('./app');
const knex = app.get('knexClient');

module.exports = {
  doThings: function (params) {  
    //I NEED KNEX HERE
    return something;
  },

  doThings2: function () {
    return somethingElse
  }
};
