php artisan db:seed is not working Laravel 5 - php

Question

I have read other answers but nothing solved my issue. When I run php artisan db:seed nothing happens, even no error is thrown.This is my DatabaseSeeder class
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class DatabaseSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
Model::unguard();
// call our class and run our seeds
$this->call(BearAppSeeder::class);
// $this->call(UserTableSeeder::class);
Model::reguard();
}
}
BearAppSeeder contains following content.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
class BearAppSeeder extends Seeder
{
/**
* Run the database seeds.
*
* #return void
*/
public function run()
{
// clear our database ------------------------------------------
/*DB::table('bears')->delete();
DB::table('fish')->delete();
DB::table('picnics')->delete();
DB::table('trees')->delete();
DB::table('bears_picnics')->delete();*/
// seed our bears table -----------------------
// we'll create three different bears
// bear 1 is named Lawly. She is extremely dangerous. Especially when hungry.
$bearLawly = Bear::insert(['name' => 'Lawly',
'type' => 'Grizzly',
'danger_level' => 8]);
/*/ bear 2 is named Cerms. He has a loud growl but is pretty much harmless.
$bearCerms = Bear::create(array(
'name' => 'Cerms',
'type' => 'Black',
'danger_level' => 4
));
// bear 3 is named Adobot. He is a polar bear. He drinks vodka.
$bearAdobot = Bear::create(array(
'name' => 'Adobot',
'type' => 'Polar',
'danger_level' => 3
));
$this->command->info('The bears are alive!');
// seed our fish table ------------------------
// our fish wont have names... because theyre going to be eaten
// we will use the variables we used to create the bears to get their id
Fish::create(array(
'weight' => 5,
'bear_id' => $bearLawly->id
));
Fish::create(array(
'weight' => 12,
'bear_id' => $bearCerms->id
));
Fish::create(array(
'weight' => 4,
'bear_id' => $bearAdobot->id
));
$this->command->info('They are eating fish!');
// seed our trees table ---------------------
Tree::create(array(
'type' => 'Redwood',
'age' => 500,
'bear_id' => $bearLawly->id
));
Tree::create(array(
'type' => 'Oak',
'age' => 400,
'bear_id' => $bearLawly->id
));
$this->command->info('Climb bears! Be free!');
// seed our picnics table ---------------------
// we will create one picnic and apply all bears to this one picnic
$picnicYellowstone = Picnic::create(array(
'name' => 'Yellowstone',
'taste_level' => 6
));
$picnicGrandCanyon = Picnic::create(array(
'name' => 'Grand Canyon',
'taste_level' => 5
));
// link our bears to picnics ---------------------
// for our purposes we'll just add all bears to both picnics for our many to many relationship
$bearLawly->picnics()->attach($picnicYellowstone->id);
$bearLawly->picnics()->attach($picnicGrandCanyon->id);
$bearCerms->picnics()->attach($picnicYellowstone->id);
$bearCerms->picnics()->attach($picnicGrandCanyon->id);
$bearAdobot->picnics()->attach($picnicYellowstone->id);
$bearAdobot->picnics()->attach($picnicGrandCanyon->id);
$this->command->info('They are terrorizing picnics!');*/
}
}
I have tried running composer dump-autoload but this did not resolve my issue. I am new to Laravel so I do not know too much about it.

Answer 1

I think your model class Bear is not found in BearAppSeeder. So ,
put
use App\Bear;
after
use Illuminate\Database\Seeder;
I hope this may help

Answer 2

Call the seeder class in following way:
$this->call(App\BearAppSeeder::class);
Use App directory name before BearAppSeeder::class
