Bug: DB Seeder may use wrong DB connection during testing

[R-W-C]

PHP Version

8.3

CodeIgniter4 Version

4.6

CodeIgniter4 Installation Method

Composer (using codeigniter4/appstarter)

Which operating systems have you tested for this bug?

Windows

Which server did you use?

apache

Environment

development

Database

MySQL 8.3

What happened?

Command: php spark seed:tests --dbgroup tests

Parameter --dbgroup is not respected. CI’s Seeder runner is always instantiating a seeder with the default connection, even when the seeder is created via Database::seeder('tests').

Steps to Reproduce

Run command

php spark seed:tests --dbgroup tests

Expected Output

Parameter --dbgroup is respected.

Anything else?

No response

This command does not support specifying the DBGroup:

php spark db:seed --help                                  

Usage:
  db:seed <seeder_name>

Description:
  Runs the specified seeder to populate known data into the database.

Arguments:
  seeder_name  The seeder name to run

I verified that even when using Database::seeder('tests'), the database group is not respected.
