[SOLVED] Laravel 8 Seeder Factory : Call to a member function count() on null

Laravel 8 Seeder Factory : Call to a member function count() on null

When I start seeding my database with db:seed, I got this error:

  Call to a member function count() on null

      Database\Seeders\UserSeeder::run()

I tried to override the default factory, following the example in the Documentation, but it did not help.

Here's my model:

class UserPhoto extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    /**
     * Create a new factory instance for the model.
     */
    protected static function newFactory()
    {
        return UserPhotoFactory::new();
    }

}

If I delete ->has(UserPhoto::factory(1)) Users table seeds normally

Seeder:

class UserSeeder extends Seeder
{
    public function run()
    {
        $city = City::first();
        User::factory(15)
            ->for($city)
            ->has(UserPhoto::factory(1))
            ->create()
        ;

//        UserPhoto::factory();
    }
}

Factory:

class UserPhotoFactory extends Factory
{
    protected $model = UserPhoto::class;

    public function configure()
    {
        $this->afterCreating(function (UserPhoto $photo) {
            $height = $this->faker->numberBetween(100, 900);
            $width = $this->faker->numberBetween(100, 900);
            $contents = file_get_contents('www.placecage.com/c/'.$height.'/'.$width);
            $path = 'users/images/'.$photo->user_id.'/'.$photo->id.'.jpg';
            Storage::disk('local')->put($path, $contents);
        });
    }

    public function definition()
    {
        return [
//            'created_at' => Carbon::now()
        ];
    }
}

User Model:

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasFactory, Notifiable;

    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
    ];

    public function city() {
        return $this->belongsTo(City::class);
    }

    public function photos() {
        return $this->hasMany(UserPhoto::class);
    }
}
