I am getting the error "Target class [Database\Seeders\UsersTableSeeder] does not exist" and I cannot figure out why. I have already tried solutions posted to similar issues and none of them worked for me.
Here is my composer.json autoload/classmap settings
"autoload": {
"psr-4": {
"App\\": "app/"
},
"classmap": [
"database/seeders",
"database/factories"
]
},
UsersTableSeeder class
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\DB;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
DB::table('users')->insert([
'fname' => 'Billy',
'lname'=> 'Bob',
'email' => 'billy@gmail.com',
'password' => Hash::make('12345678'),
]);
}
}
DatabaseSeeder class
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Seed the application's database.
*
* @return void
*/
public function run()
{
// \App\Models\User::factory(10)->create();
$this->call(UsersTableSeeder::class);
}
}
You are missing namespace in UsersTableSeeder
class.
<?php
namespace Database\Seeders;
...
This will make autoloader to find the other seeder as they will be same namespace as DatabaseSeeder
.
Note: run composer dump-autoload
after that.
