Answer 1

in TodoTableSeeder.php

change run method to

public function run()
{
    factory(Todo::class, 10)->create();
}

Answer 2

You are try to get Class with APP\Todo and APP\Todo not exist because not is correct , the correct form is \App\Todo::class

But if you call the class in the header, when you need the class you just need to call it like this: class All :: class

I hope this help you :)

Answer 3

i got the same issue. The problem was i changed my project name so it can't find App\Todo. Replace App with your project name as MYTODO/Todo::class.

TodoTableSeeder.php

public function run()
{
factory(MYTODO\Todo::class, 10)->create();
}

I hope this helps you!

Answer 4

use App\Todo;
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;


class TodosTableSeeder extends Seeder
{

    public function run()
    {
        //factory(APP\Todo::class, 10)->create() ;
      factory(App\Todo::class, 10)->create() ;
    //I changed the APP to App
    }
}

Answer 5

You need to make a model of your todos app.

In this case, the compiler is looking for App/Todo: means it is looking for todo.php in App folder...

artisan make:model Todo

^Run this command first.. then you'll see a Todo.php in your App folder. after that run your original command.

php artisan db:Seed

Hope it works. worked for me in laravel 7.0.
