Correct syntax to run specific seed file

[romanstetsyk]

My kysely.config.ts has the following option:

seeds: {
  seedFolder: "seeds",
},

I can create a seed file with the following command:

npx kysely seed make testseed

And I can successfully run all seeds with

npx kysely seed run

However, neither of the following commands works when I try to run a specific seed:

npx kysely seed run --specific testseed
npx kysely seed run --specific=testseed
npx kysely seed run --specific 1765585112853_testseed
npx kysely seed run --specific=1765585112853_testseed
npx kysely seed run --specific 1765585112853_testseed.ts
npx kysely seed run --specific=1765585112853_testseed.ts
npx kysely seed run --specific seeds/1765585112853_testseed.ts
npx kysely seed run --specific=seeds/1765585112853_testseed.ts
npx kysely seed run --specific ./seeds/1765585112853_testseed.ts
npx kysely seed run --specific=./seeds/1765585112853_testseed.ts

All of them log Starting seed run No seeds found.

My question is, how do I run a specific seed file?

P.S. I use "kysely-ctl": "0.19.0" and "kysely": "0.28.8".

Hey 👋

Can you share --debug output?

Hi @igalklebanov, sure here is the debug output
