Seed fake images in laravel

I’m trying to generate a fake image to populate seeder data.

I created a seeder with this:

$this->faker->image(storage_path('app/public/products'), 500, 500)

When I try to access them through Laravel Nova to see them, I get this kind of URL: http://localhost/storage/var/www/html/storage/app/public/products/c8831002794cc55fe046c5e2b65794d4.png

In the DB it’s saved as: /var/www/html/storage/app/public/products/c8831002794cc55fe046c5e2b65794d4.png

Any idea what I’ve done wrong?

    See the method signature for image():

    function image(
    ?string $dir = null,
    int $width = 640,
    int $height = 480,
    ?string $category = null,
    bool $fullPath = true,
    bool $randomize = true,
    ?string $word = null,
    bool $gray = false,
    string $format = 'png'
)

    Setting $fullPath to false will fix your issue:

    $this->faker->image(storage_path('app/public/products'), 500, 500, null, false)

    Try this:

    $this->faker->image('app/public/products',400,300, null, false)

    if you have a view then:

    <img src="/my/path/{{ $item->image}}" >
