Lift and Photon search for database in different folders

See original GitHub issue

Given a schema

datasource db {
  provider = env("PRISMA_PROVIDER")
  url      = env("PRISMA_URL")
}

generator photon {
  provider = "photonjs"
}

model Role {
  id    String @default(cuid()) @id
  role  String @unique
}

and package.json

{
  "private": true,
  "scripts": {

    "dev": "PRISMA_PROVIDER=sqlite PRISMA_URL=file:./dev.db prisma2 dev",
    "seed": "PRISMA_PROVIDER=sqlite PRISMA_URL=file:./dev.db ts-node prisma/seed.ts"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "prisma2": "^2.0.0-preview-6.1",
    "ts-node": "^8.3.0",
    "typescript": "^3.5.3"
  }
}

and seeding script

import Photon from "@generated/photon";

new Photon().roles
  .create({
    data: {
      role: "DEFAULT"
    }
  })
  .then(console.log)
  .catch(console.error)
  .finally(() => process.exit());

when I run prisma2 dev and seed script

yarn dev
yarn seed

I see an error

Invalid `photon.()` invocation in /Users/roman.paradeev/workspace/photon-tslint-bug/prisma/seed.ts:4:4
Reason: Error in connector: Error querying the database: no such table: dev.Role

and I see two databases created.

<project root>/prisma/dev.db created by prisma2 dev
<project root>/dev.db created by ts-node prisma/seed.ts

When I change PRISMA_URL for seed script

    "dev": "PRISMA_PROVIDER=sqlite PRISMA_URL=\"file:./dev.db\" prisma2 dev",
    "seed": "PRISMA_PROVIDER=sqlite PRISMA_URL=\"file:./prisma/dev.db\" ts-node prisma/seed.ts"

seeding script runs without errors.
