Issue with Spatie Laravel Multitenancy: Table 'laravel.users' doesn't exist (Still using the landlord instead of tenant)

[HamzaHassanM]

I'm encountering an issue while implementing Spatie Laravel Multitenancy in my Laravel application. When attempting to run the application, I'm getting the following error:

Illuminate\Database\QueryException
SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'laravel.users' doesn't exist
SELECT * FROM `users`

Here's my setup:

Database Configuration:
I have separate databases for tenants and landlord. The tenant database connection is configured as follows:

'tenant' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => null,
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'prefix_indexes' => true,
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([
                PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA => env('MYSQL_ATTR_SSL_CA'),
            ]) : [],
        ],

        'landlord' => [
            'driver' => 'mysql',
            'url' => env('DATABASE_URL'),
            'host' => env('DB_HOST', '127.0.0.1'),
            'port' => env('DB_PORT', '3306'),
            'database' => env('DB_DATABASE', 'forge'),
            'username' => env('DB_USERNAME', 'forge'),
            'password' => env('DB_PASSWORD', ''),
            'unix_socket' => env('DB_SOCKET', ''),
            'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
            'collation' => 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci',
            'prefix' => '',
            'prefix_indexes' => true,
            'strict' => true,
            'engine' => null,
            'options' => extension_loaded('pdo_mysql') ? array_filter([

Database Environment Variables:
In my .env file, I have configured the database connection for the landlord:

DB_CONNECTION=landlord
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Error Context:
The error is occurring when the application tries to access the users table. However, in a multitenant architecture, each tenant should have its own users table. It seems like the application is trying to access the users table in the landlord database instead of the tenant database.

Question:

How can I resolve this issue and ensure that the application accesses the correct users table based on the current tenant when using Spatie Laravel Multitenancy?

after few hours of tests the answer is to make the tenant conection as default connection DB_CONNECTION=tenant
