在Laravel 5.0中使用Faker会返回“未找到类用户”

Question

I am trying to put test data in a database for a Laravel project. I have followed the instructions on Laracasts, and a couple of sites. When I try to run my Seeder class, I get "Class 'User' not found" Here is my class:

 use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;

 class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder {

   public function run()
   {
    $faker = Faker\Factory::create();

    for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++)
    {
        $user = User::create(array(
            'name' => $faker->userName,
            'email' => $faker->email,
            'password' => $faker->word,
            'verified' => $faker-numberBetween($min = 0, $max = 1)
        ));
    }
    }
}

Does anyone out there know what I need to do?

Answer 1

I think this problem is due to class mapping issue. Run the following command from your command line

php artisan dump-autoload

If this does not work then Alternatively you can use namespace for your models. To this just define namespace in your User Modal

namespace Models;

To use This class just put the following line in your code

use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Models\User;

class UsersTableSeeder extends Seeder {

public function run()
{
 $faker = Faker\Factory::create();

 for ($i = 0; $i < 50; $i++)
 {
     $user = User::create(array(
        'name' => $faker->userName,
        'email' => $faker->email,
        'password' => $faker->word,
        'verified' => $faker-numberBetween($min = 0, $max = 1)
    ));
 }
}

}
