Seed umbrella project (Ecto/Postgre)

Question

I currently have an umbrella project containing a database service. I would like to seed this service automatically when I run the mix test command but I can't.

---

I tried to put into apps/db_service/mix.ex the following code

defp aliases do
    [
        "ecto.setup": ["ecto.create --quiet", "ecto.migrate", "run priv/repo/seeds.exs"],
        "ecto.reset": ["ecto.drop", "ecto.setup"],
        "test": ["ecto.reset", "test"]
    ]
end

but I got an error if I run mix test on the root directory : ** (Mix) The database for DatabaseService.Repo couldn't be dropped: ERROR 55006 (object_in_use) (command is working into the service directory)

---

So I tried to put into root/mix.ex

defp aliases do
    [
        "test": ["ecto.drop", "ecto.create", "ecto.migrate", "test"]
    ]
end

and into apps/db_service/mix.ex

defp aliases do
    [
        "test": ["run priv/repo/seeds.exs", "test"]
    ]
end

but now, I get the following error : ** (Mix) No such file: priv/repo/seeds.exs

---

How can I do for seed my tests and have the mix test command works in the root and in the service folder ?

This is a late answer but it is here:

defp aliases do
  "test.seed": ["run #{Path.join(__DIR__, "priv/repo/seeds.exs")}"],
  test: ["test.seed", "test"]
end
