Laravel Factory | The mapping is not specified - php

Question

I'm trying to create some mock data using faker for a Model called Product to test Scout & ElasticSearch but unfortunately, I'm getting an error. When I use factory(App\Product::class, 200)->create() inside of php artisan tinker to generate the data, I get the following error: LogicException with message 'Nothing to update: the mapping is not specified.' Any pointers on which other files I should look at
App > Product.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use ScoutElastic\Searchable;
class Product extends Model {
use Searchable;
protected $indexConfigurator = ProductIndexConfigurator::class;
protected $fillable = ['sku', 'name', 'type', 'price', 'upc', 'category', 'shipping'
, 'description', 'manufacturer', 'model', 'url', 'image'];
public function products ()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Product');
}
}
ProductFactory.php
<?php
$factory->define(App\Product::class, function (Faker\Generator $faker) {
return [
'sku' => $faker->randomDigit,
'name' => $faker->name,
'type' => $faker->name,
'price' => $faker->randomDigit,
'upc' => $faker->randomDigit,
'category' => $faker->name,
'shipping' => $faker->randomDigit,
'description' => $faker->name,
'manufacturer' => $faker->name,
'model' => $faker->name,
'url' => $faker->url,
'image' => $faker->url,
];
});
Migration - create_products_table.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateProductTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('product', function(Blueprint $table) {
$table->increments('id');
$table->string('sku');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('type');
$table->string('price');
$table->string('upc');
$table->string('category');
$table->string('shipping');
$table->string('description');
$table->string('manufacturer');
$table->string('model');
$table->string('url');
$table->string('image');
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* #return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('product');
}
}

Your code is OK and works for me, you're just missing the properties $table and $timestamps on your Product model:
class Product extends Model
{
public $table = 'product';
public $timestamps = false;
