Question 220449 in Laravel Question posted in
The official Laravel Documentation can be found here.

Laravel 10 seeder cannot find class, php artisan complains

I have exactly the same issue as this Stackoverflow question, but none of the solutions provided works for me.

I too have been trying to follow exactly the same Laravel API tutorial, and got stumbled by the Laravel Seeder failure.

This is my model appModelsArticle.php

<?php

namespace AppModels;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesHasFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentModel;

class Article extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $table = 'articles';
    protected $fillable = ['title', 'body'];
}

This is my seeder databaseseedersArticlesTableSeeder

<?php

namespace DatabaseSeeders;

use IlluminateDatabaseConsoleSeedsWithoutModelEvents;
use IlluminateDatabaseSeeder;

use appModelsArticle;


class ArticlesTableSeeder extends Seeder {
  /**
   * Run the database seeds.
   */
  public function run(): void {

    Article::truncate();
    $faker = FakerFactory::create();

    // And now, let's create a few articles in our database:
    for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++) {
      Article::create([
          'title' => $faker->sentence,
          'body' => $faker->paragraph,
      ]);
    }
  }
}

When I run "$ php artisan db:seed –class=ArticlesTableSeeder" it complains about ‘Class "appModelsArticle" not found’

I have cleared the cache and ran "$ composer dump-autoload" a few times but that didn’t help.

    you can use below code for seeder

        <?php

namespace DatabaseSeeders;

use FakerFactory;
use IlluminateDatabaseConsoleSeedsWithoutModelEvents;
use IlluminateDatabaseSeeder;
use DB;

class ArticlesTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
    /**
     * Run the database seeds.
     */
    public function run(): void
    {
        $faker = Factory::create();
        for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++) {
            DB::table('articles')->insert([
                [
                    'title' => $faker->sentence,
                    'body' => $faker->paragraph
                ]
            ]);
        }
    }
}

    I would use Factotories in this case.

    database/factories/ArticleFactory.php

    <?php

namespace DatabaseFactories;

use IlluminateDatabaseEloquentFactoriesFactory;

class ArticleFactory extends Factory
{
    public function definition()
    {
        return [
            'title' => fake()->words(2, true),
            'body' => fake()->words(5, true),
        ];
    }
}

    database/seeders/ArticleSeeder.php

    <?php

namespace DatabaseSeeders;

use AppModelsArticle;
use IlluminateDatabaseSeeder;

class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        //this will create 50 records in DB, no need to use for loop
        Article::factory(50)->create();
    }
}

    Then execute:

    php artisan db:seed --class=ArticleSeeder
