I need to run factory using tinker but my model isn't in app folder like this->App\Models\User::factory()->count(2)->create();

the path is-> Modules\Menu\Entities\MenuPosition and when I run tis command

php artisan tinker
Modules\Menu\Entities\MenuPosition::factory()->count(2)->create();

there is error

Class 'Database/Factories/Modules/Menu/Entities/MenuPositionFactory' not found in C:/laragon/www/menu--test/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Database/Eloquent/Factories/Factory.php on line 656
Solution

  • You can override the newFactory method on this model:

    /**
 * Create a new factory instance for the model.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\Factory
 */
protected static function newFactory()
{
    return \Modules\Menu\Database\Factories\MenuFactory::new();
}

    Or you can look into the documentation to see how to adjust how the factory is looked up based on the model.
